LCD displays only first Character

Using Arduino Programming Questions
1

LCD only prints the first character on a 20 x 4 LCD Display It's an Arduino LCM 1602 4 wire display. Went back to the simple Hello World Sketch. I can print one character at a time but no stings. Using LiquidCrystal _I2C Library. Tried several different LiquidCrystal_I2C libraries and get the same thing. The library has a return(1) in it.
The Hello World sketch runs with no errors. I am using the IDE 1.1.18.

I have this same LCD running for the last 5 years with no problems. Using an older IDE.
Won't upgrade.
Thanks

Good to know.

Please click on the flag icon just below and ask a moderator to move it to an appropriate sub forum. This one is for IDE and other support issues.

If you're asking for support with a sketch, you have to post the sketch. It is like taking your car to the mechanic and refusing to open the hood.

There was a change to the core library that caused this symptom in the LiquidCrystal_I2C library and others. See the details here:
