Win10 Delphi Xe7 "Text Object" editor doesn't show
So I have a Windows 10 laptop with Delphi XE7 and FastReport VCL 5 installed.
When I drop a frxReport component on a vcl form and enter design mode and drop a Text Object on the page, the text editor window is not shown... When I click around I hear the windows beep sound signalizing that I'm clicking outside a modal window, but the window itself (text editor) is not shown and I have to press Esc button to "cancel" the invisible dialog. The problem is that I can't edit the text of the text object component because if this. The same thing happens when I click the "..." button next to the "Memo" property of the text object, the text editor window is not shown.
When I drop for example a chart object on the page the "Chart Editor" window appears as it should. It's the same with system text object, the "System Memo" window appears as it should. It's only the text object that is causing issues.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this? I tried reinstalling FastReport and Delphi but to no avail. Also this problem wasn't present from the beginning, it started happening suddenly a few months ago so I guess a Windows 10 update might have somehow caused it, however reinstalling Windows is not an option right now.
Anyone had a similar issue?

A bit more data might help. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Which versions of Windows 10 and FR Vcl 5 do you have? Oh and was XE7 the most uptodate Patched Version? [Most recent public version of Windows is 10.0.17763.316 (1809) [both 64 and 32 bit) and FastReport is 5.6.18.] When you reinstalled FR, did you go through the ritual of a (manual) complete uninstall first, and then a Recompile after installation? Finally (for now), if you suspect Windows may have been "trashed" in a recent update, have you run the available scan and repair tools (DISM, SFC etc.)? Cheers, Paul[/img]
