Is there any way to avoid the real-time text adjusting in Wordbee when editing a segment?
It happens automatically, and for a long segment this is very annoying and makes it difficult to enter the correct letters where they should be.
Actually, when I look at the issue now it's the whole window that is adjusting each time I adjust the text in a segment. Not like in a normal CAT tool like MemoQ or SDL Trados Studio.

Copy and paste the segment into Notepad, edit there, copy and paste back? Maybe create two little Autohotkey scripts to do the copying back and forth. Assign each of the two to different hotkeys. Might be quicker than trying to edit in Wordbee.
