How do I keep chests from "opening," when they are activated?

How do I keep chests from "opening," when they are activated?  Chests without any events remain closed, but even attaching text to a chest makes it open automatically when activated.

I've literally just started RPG Maker XP two hours ago, so I have only a very limited understanding of its capabilities.  I have, however, tried what workarounds I can to try and solve this.  I know it seems like a small issue, but I would like to know how I can resolve it.

Thank you for taking the time to read this query.

Probably what's happening is the chest is "facing" the player when you're activating it. Any time you talk to a character for example, they automatically face you. Try checking the "Direction Fix" box so that it doesn't change direction when you activate it.

Amazing!!!  I've seen about 147 posts asking, "How do I make a chest/door open when activated?"
This is the first post asking how to keep it from happening!
You must have activated it from the side or back, eh?

IE's suggestion should fix you up.  (we have a bunch of nice, helpful folks here)

Welcome to rmxp.org, and to RMXP.

Happy Gamemaking

Thank you very much for the help!  The direction fix was the solution.

I'm surprised no one has asked before...
