Strange results when recording a simulation with data entry requirements

I am creating a software simulation that requires learners to enter lines of code into text boxes. I am recording as I type these lines of code into the software program, and I am expecting Storyline to produce the typing as data fields in a free form slide. The recording generates free form slides but instead of the expected data entry text boxes I get the shortcut keys, CTRL+C and CTRL+V.

Any suggestions as to what is happening?

Thanks
