For years I have been able to enter new symbols in sc windows. Support symbol entry in chart window is enabled. It worked fine most of the day. Starting about 3 pm I can no longer enter a new symbol in any chart window.
I restarted. Problem persists.

Make sure this option is enabled:
General Settings Window: Support Symbol Entry from Chart Window (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Charts >> Symbol)

Keyboard shortcuts could also be interfering. Those are configured through Global Settings >> Customize Keyboard Shortcuts.

This is URGENT as it is affecting my trading.

As stated in the original post, "Support symbol entry in chart window is enabled"

I have never set up any keybord short cuts.

Please note from the original post, "It worked fine most of the day. Starting about 3 pm I can no longer enter a new symbol in any chart window.
I restarted. Problem persists.

Please help immediately to fix it.

There is no reason for this to simply stop working. Please select the "Escape" key a few times to make sure the queue is empty and then try typing a symbol again. Be sure to select the "Enter" key at the end of the entry.
