AutoSuggest - suggestions no longer inserted by pressing Enter

Since about one month, suggestions are no longer inserted into the translation segment when pressing Enter (they do appear, but they are not applied). I was using Trados Studio 2022. As I was planning on switching to 2024, I put up with it, but I now installed Trados Studio 2024 (18.0.1.2259), and the same issue occurs. I checked if AutoSuggest is enabled, and it is, so that doesn't cause the problem.

Does anyone have any idea what could be the cause of this?

  • Thank you, Paul.
    1. Yes, the profile I'm using does use "Enter" to confirm a segment. However, that was always the case, also back in the days when inserting the AutoSuggests did work. The tool always "understood" that when an AutoSuggest term was highlighted, Enter was meant to insert the term, not to confirm the segment. And even now, it does still understand that, as it still doesn't confirm the segment when AutoSuggest is showing (it does when it has disappeared). To double-check this, I temporarily changed the shortcurt for confirming segments. That did not solve the issue.

    2. I'm starting to think that that must be the problem. AutoHotKey would be my first guess, and since I don't even use that, I decided to simply remove it entirely. That didn't help. I also removed a few other tools that I wasn't using, but were running in the background. That hasn't solved the issue. I'm afraid my IT knowledge is too poor to dare remove or deactivate anything else, and I have no idea what could have changed about a month ago.

    Another strange thing that is happening, is what occurs after using the Find and Replace function (Ctrl+F). After using this, F4 no longer copies the source text to the translation segment, while it did so a minute before. At this point, when I press F4, an Information box is shown, saying "Find complete: no matches found." When I restart Trados, F4 functions as it should again, until using Find and Replace again.

    I guess I need to involve an IT person that will be able to check what's happening exactly in real time.

    Thank you for all suggestions, though!
