Matej Macho (ID: 000000d5b966171b) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/17/2016 It was okay until typing letters like "a" or "c" in the text I wanted to translate, it acted like it was pressed with Alt key... what I have to do everytime that happens is just click on the background, press Alt once, and continue typing. It gets kind of annoying when that happens every 2 minutes or so..
