Thanks for the quick reply!
Ctrl-Shift did not solve it, but Edit -> Preferences -> Evaluation -> Reset
to Defaults rechecked the box next to "Use only textual boxes when
converting input to typeset forms", which of course solved to problem. I
guess I might have unchecked it by mistake. Come to think of it, I should
have made the connection by myself just by reading the option's
description...
Best wishes,
Barak
