P: Can't put text inside a shape

Since upgrading to CC from CS4 i can no longer put text inside a closed shape, such as the heart. I can put text AROUND the path but not inside.  The cursor does not change and just types as regular text.  Windows 10

    Yes, but why are the new shapes introduced in photoshop 2020 still defective after reporting this well before photoshop 2020 was released?

    Shapes that are not closed won't work for putting text inside them.  Shapes that are closed should work fine.

    Thanks,

    It seems that some of the new shapes that ship with photoshop 2020 exhibit this same issue.
    One example is in the Legacy Shapes and More>2019 Shapes>Helmets>Safety Helmet

    It's actually a question of prioritization -- fix this or add a cool new feature?  Given that these are easily fixed...and this might not be a bug so much as a path being used as a shape it wasn't intended to be....

    If there are specific shapes you'd like to see fixed, please give me a list and I'll try to get those addressed.

    Thanks,
    David

    Who marked this as solved?

    It's clearly not solved since the bug still exists in photoshop 20.0.5

    It doesn’t seem too complicated to do - it would appear that clearly they can’t be bothered. They only want ya money.

    Still not fixed in photoshop cc 2019 20.0.5
    Someone at adobe needs to check every custom shape that ships with photoshop, because there are many others beside the Heart shape that have this problem.
