Hello,

The response text box is not working when I take it online. I am unable to type anything inside it. The psychopy version works fine. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be so. I have the editable check box turned on.

thanks

**OS** (e.g. Win10): mac sierra  
**PsychoPy version** (e.g. 1.84.x): 2020.2.3  
**Standard Standalone? (y/n)** If not then what?: scratch build

This is what it looks like when it is online. It’s not editable.

Here is the response text component settings. Editable is clearly turned on.
