AutoCAD 2010 mtext doesn't show anything when I type

Arggg... And i thought Micro$oft had problems. Nope! Autodesk is as bad as them. The other day i had a call about an AutoCAD 2010 misbehaving. The problem was that the mtext editor wasn't showing anything typed in but could delete. Also i was getting the Undefined something 0.

I tried mtexted set to oldeditor; nothing. I re-installed AutoCAD; nothing. I even created another user and after checking that the program word, i copied all profile files to the other account. Yup you guest it; NOTHING!

I was pulling my hair out. What was the problem. I was starting to play around with settings, and my eye caught the AUTOcaps setting on the mtext dialog box; it was ticked.

I unticked it and it worked! I was amazed! I couln't belive it.

So there you go folks, Autodesk is as bad as Micro$oft sometimes. :-)
