I'm attempting to have a sub VI 'pop up' its front panel so the User can input data into this window (since I need to make the text customizable and 'prompt user for input' doesn't offer that functionality. The issue I'm running into is boolean inputs interact correctly, but string inputs cannot be focused/clicked on/typed into. I can get the insertion point in the string input. I can't copy data data into them either. My only option is to ignore this input.

String Input Non-Interactive

As a note, that isn't a strange behavior. The "Show Horizontal Scroll Bar" option only becomes available once you disable word wrapping. This is 100% expected behavior because the text cannot both wrap and scroll at the same time. Limit to a single line, disable word wrap, and then enable the horizontal scroll bar, and that should take care of it!
