Having a hard time with workspaces

I am having a hard time with workspaces, when I am writing in the console, then I want to write in the above screen, but eventhough I click on it, I'm still typing on the console! And viceversa, is it my computer? I just can't easily type in the console and then start writing in the other screen

Can't say that has happened to me before. Might be your computer if it is older. Or your connection might be a little slow. Not sure. I'd give it some time and if it persists then click that question mark icon at the bottom left corner of your screen and let Treehouse Support know so that they can get it resolved for you. I'm brushing up on my Python as well and am not having any trouble with it.

Hi Wilfredo,

Sorry for the delay in replying, I have had this issue on my Windows machine and the solution I found was to click the space between the editor and the console which takes the focus on both input areas, confirm the cursor is not focus and then place it into either the editor or console again.

While it may get slightly annoying, I found it was much easier than trying to fight against it.

Hope that helps.
