Text Entry boxes not being created automatically in screen recordings

Hi All. When I record a series of steps that include entering text in a form field, SL 2 does not create a text entry box within the recording. Inserting the recording in Test Mode gets me a hotspot, which is fine if I only want the learner to click, but I need them to type something.

I'm working around this by inserting a freeform text entry slide, and pasting a screenshot into the background. I'm still a bit new to SL, shouldn't it automatically generate a TEB if I type text while I'm recording?

    I have been using Chrome for my recordings for the last 4 months, but today, it won't record the Text Entry fields in the Test mode. Is this a known issue?  Chrome is the only browser I can use for my recording...
