@AmberV Amber, are you able to replicate this ESC key issue in your Scrivener running Wine 8? I don’t know whether it is a Wine issue or a Manjaro Linux issue. I had this issue 2.5 yrs ago and had to go back to Windows. I’m hoping that isn’t necessary this time.
As Vincent was unable to replicate this using Windows, this issue should probably be in the Scrivener on Linux forum category.
BTW, is it possible to have Character and Dialogue elements, tab separated on the same line (same formatting), with different auto-complete lists in the Stage Play UK format or a custom format?
