P: Can't put text inside a shape

Yep :
would you be able to create the same on a transparent background for me and i can see if i can edit it? 

It seems to work for everyone - just a bug with mine!  If you are able to create it and it works, would you be able to create the same on a transparent background for me and i can see if i can edit it? 

when you say a preset shape of my own - do you mean a heart shape from somewhere else?

Strange, i've just tested with preset shapes. it works
You should try to copy  apreset shape into the layer of your own (strange lol heart) after delete it keeping the preset one, and try the texte inside.

oh i hoped you could see the cursor but not sure you can.  anyway it's just the regular text one 

Thanks, i have just upgraded to the latest i can - 19.1.3.  and the same problem.  No rounded T in the shape.  If i create a shape with the pen tool or even a freeform heart (a not very good one!) it works fine.  But if i use one of the preset shapes i can only put text around. I have one i created in CS4 which i can edit the text but i want to do a new one with a different shape.  Arghhhh!

I've tested with Adobe Photoshop Version: 19.1.3 20180323.r.293 2018/03/23: 1163761  x64

No problem, i've got the icon rounded T when i go on a shape.
