  1. MS Paint text box issue


    When going to type on a text box on MS paint, I'd like to indent first and proceed with writing. I usually hit the tab button on my keyboard. This always worked until today when I hit my keyboard's tab button and instead of the cursor moving to the right to indent, an arrow cursor appears on any of the tiny boxes (which one uses to click on and drag to change the size of the text box). This is annoying as I am not sure if it's my keyboard or a update on MS Paint (which is doubtful knowing it's pretty much obsolete in Microsoft's eyes)... any ideas???

    :)
