Question

So when I am typing a reply or I try to PM someone my backspace key doesn't work. I have tested it on other websites and my backspace key works. I also tried on PowerPoint, & Word doc. and discovered that it is just OpenStudy where my backspace key doesn't work. I have logged out and logged back in a few times to see if that would help and I even restarted my laptop. I was just wondering is anyone else encountering this same problem and what else can I do to try and fix it?
Thanks :)

Answer 8

No need to tag a bunch of people XD

Answer 9

Just trying to see if this happens to other people.

Answer 10

Have you tried using the "Delete" button?

Answer 11

It's like a reverse backspace key.

Answer 12

It deletes text to the right of it, instead of the left, like a backspace key.

Answer 13

Yes I have actually.. and it doesn't work either

Answer 14

Okay, let me see what I can find.

Answer 15

Try pressing the "insert" button..

Answer 16

How do you type? o.O

Answer 17

Copy & paste it from somewhere else?

Answer 18

What does the "insert" button do?

Answer 19

I just type slow and carefully and try to avoid little error :)

Answer 20

That's good. :)

Answer 21

Not much..if you use it in word it erases one character ahead of you once you press another.

Answer 22

Hm. Nice to know. XD

Answer 23

Let me try logging out and logging back in, in a DIFFERENT browser

Answer 24

Yeah, or try holding ALT or CTRL when you press backspace.

Answer 25

Oh, and in the future, you can type your sentences faster somewhere else where you can use backspace and copy & paste them here.

Answer 26

Well the insert thing works now :)

Answer 27

But the backspace still doesn't work XP

Answer 28

No I don't have this issue

Answer 29

That's happened to me before but it stopped. I don't know what it was. It even happened to me in the chats and posts like these ones.

Answer 30

How long did it take to go away?

Answer 31

I'm not sure but it even happened to me on Sunday when I was online...

Answer 32

Did you try holding CTRL/ALT?

You mean "delete"?

Answer 34

I have to restart my computer..my volume isn't working.

Answer 35

Yes still didn't work :(

I suppose I will just wait it out. Thanks for all your help :)

Answer 36

Hmm, did you try the different browser?

Answer 37

Oh, it could be an account problem..though I doubt it..did you try it on a different account? What about a different computer?

Answer 38

Your Welcome!! Sorry about the problem, hope it gets fixed soon and returns back normal.

Answer 39

Wait a sec.... different browser??

Answer 40

Thank you! but let me try my alt acc. one sec...

Answer 41

Last time it happened to me, I was using google chrome. Now I'm using Firefox.. so far, so good.

Answer 42

Yes, a different browser.. like Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox..

Answer 43

Maybe It could be the browser

Answer 44

Yeah, that could be the problem right there..maybe there was some kind of extension that prevented it from working on OpenStudy.

Answer 45

Yeah, true.. someone recommended I use Firefox for OS because it's safer and better. It's works good for me.

Answer 46

Okay, try using Firefox @~*Ashtyn*~ , and if you don't have it download it.

Answer 47

It worked with my alt acc. But guess what?...

Answer 48

What?

Answer 49

It works now :)
