At a Lightroom workshop at the weekend we were running through the book module and noticed that only those with Lightroom 4 could type in the spines on their dust cover. All font sizes etc were checked and correct.

This should be fixed in Lightroom CC/Lightroom 6.

Yes thanks for all your help. Its not really a problem now I know its just this template, but it was a bit frustrating and could be for others till they realise too.

Workaround for now - you can add the spine text on another template and then switch to that cover template

I have looked into it further and now find it is only the template cover we happened to be using for this workshop. (just my luck). The other templates work OK. I have used this template many times in Lightroom 4 and it was OK. It is the template that is 2nd to bottom. I have attached a snapshot of the template.

Unfortunately the double headed arrow does not turn into the text cursor on double clicking, works fine in all other text boxes.

Hmmmm, I've just tried that and it didn't work until I double clicked in the spine field to turn the double headed arrow into a cursor. Any chance you're seeing the same thing?

Thanks for getting back, it was 10x8 landscape hard dust cover. 5.2 (mine is windows 7 but understand it happened on Macs as well on course)

I can't repro the problem in 5.3RC. Mac or Windows? Which cover?
