Can't select non-E6 series resistor values

[NoodleDriver]

Hi,
I updated to 1.0.0 (Win10) and I now can’t set resistors to values outside of E6 series. Am I missing something or is there no way to set the values manually now?
Cheers,
Kevin.

I expect the answer in this old post is really aimed at you

Resistor value selection is really limited

I encountered the same problem when trying to enter the resistor value 43Ω. The value field in the Inspector did not accept any values outside the drop-down list. While attempting to type 43Ω, it consistently changed to a value from the list. After trying a few times, I realized that the value 43 must be typed without the unit Ω. It’s a bit odd, but I’m glad it functions this way.

as it looks to be an answer to your question.

Hi Peter,
I got it to work but something threw me off, being a long time user and set in my ways. Something has changed in the way the values can be typed into the resistor Ω inspector box. Not a problem now that I know but, before the update I could just use the mouse to highlight the middle zero in the value of a 100kΩ resistor and type 5 [return] to make it a 150kΩ resistor. Now I have to type 150k [return] each time but that’s OK.
Thanks,
Kevin

I suspect a change in the code has caused a change in behavior. They have moved up a QT version (from 5 to 6) so it may have changed the way inputs are edited. I expect we will just have to live with it unless it is breaking something and this doesn’t appear to be broken, just somewhat different.
