Hello,

I have a number of Lazarus Apps that I use.  They were working fine before I installed Zoom.  Now all of the database edit fields when I type in them double entry.  If I type -2.5, I get "--22..55"

I am running Linux Mint Mate 18.3
cpu i7-8700

I have checked on my laptop and the apps behave normally, which I have not installed Zoom on.

Any suggestions?

I have tried uninstalling Zoom, but the problem still persists. I really don't want to do a reinstall of the os, and that would have to wait until midweek.

I had this one a few years ago. There's a configuration file to change somewhere, and I'm afraid I can't remember exactly. Searching the forum got me to the following, which feels different to the solution I used:

Try following those, and don't forget to reboot.

I have linux mint, I installed zoom too recently, but I don't have the problem. Most likely because I followed the steps outlined in the WIKI some years ago. (I added the environment variables to my shell environment)
