Manually changing the position of a guideline now requires an additional step. 

Manually changing the position of a guideline now requires an additional step. 

 

Steps to Reproduce:

Add a guideline to a composition. 

Right click it, and select “Edit Guide”.

In the old Edit Guide dialog box, I used to be able to press the Delete key one time, type the new number, press Enter, and the guideline would move without ever having to click the box. Now, I have to highlight the FULL text in the text box and delete it, then type the new number.

    When changing the value of a guides position, instantly typing in the new value doesn't replace the old value and rather starts adding on to the current one. For example -- I edit a guide that's X value is 192px and want to change it to 540px. I click edit guide and type "540", this changes the number to "540192" rather than just 540. The current figure doesn't come pre-highlighted so new inputs don't replace it. This is not how it used to work in previous versions, and while it may be a small thing - when you work with guides a lot it's quite frustrating!

    This is on Version 26.5

    Hi Joe,


    I can reproduce this on my end. The Edit Guide dialog isn't pre-selecting the existing value. I'm filing this as a bug with engineering.

    Will follow up here once I have an update. Thanks for flagging it.


    Thanks,
    Nishu
