You have to keep the Shift key held down. Are you doing that?

Yes - pressing the Shift key does not have any effect. No matter how long I press it.

To clarify: the key must be held down while you create your geometry.

Yes. I know that. I have done this before.

This seems to be an issue with 0.20 version as well.

It doesn't seem to be an issue with Shift key or FreeCAD not recognizing the shift key. FreeCAD annotation text box does capitalization when shift key is pressed. Is anyone working with Windows 11 on Parallels for Mac?
