Why does text mode in drawings in Onshape not allow more than 1 character to be entered?

Since I upgraded to Windows10, I have an issue with entering text on a drawing in Onshape (https://www.onshape.com/). Firstly the text box seems to have a mind of its own with respect to its size - it just grows more when the mouse button is released. Also, I cannot seem to enter more than one character. I do not have an issue with modelling components. (WebGL is required for Onshape).

Another problem is that messages do not display at all when I try to access my email using my service provider's browser full version. They do however,display in their light version.

I have none of these issues when I use Chrome on the same PC

I can't find an open demo to play with, I would need to create an account. Can you get support from the company or are you on your own with this problem?
