Critical Bug in Latest Update: Text disappears when double-clicking to edit in the Text Panel

Previously, double-clicking a line of text inside the Text Panel (Captions/Graphics tab) allowed for quick and seamless text editing. In the latest version, the moment I double click a text line inside the Text Panel, the entire sentence completely disappears from the panel.

The Impact: The only workaround right now is to manually edit the text directly inside the Program Monitor (Preview window). This slows down my workflow drastically. Furthermore, when editing inside the preview window, standard text editing keyboard shortcuts (like deleting a whole word or a whole line at once) do not work at all.

This makes editing captions and titles incredibly slow and nearly impossible for daily professional use.

Please look into this and release a hotfix urgently.

@James Nolan30864664nhqx and @Otzar I’m wondering if I could get your system specs as @Ali Jaber pointed out, it could be a system specific bug that will help us find the root cause of this issue and fix it.

Could really use what Chip and OS you’re using @Otzar and need your system specs @James Nolan30864664nhqx. Any information provided listed in How do I write a bug report? is incredibly useful. With regards to Transcription, the language is also very useful to know.

Appreciate the help!

I’m on mac OS Tahoe 26.5.1, M2 Max 64gb ram (Mac Studio). The text I’m using is Arabic.

I’m also experiencing this issue, it appears to affect right-to-left reading languages only. I specifically have only experienced the issue when editing Arabic text set to righ-to-left, I don’t have the issue with the other languages I work with. If I set the captions to left-to-right I can use the text panel without issue.

@James Nolan30864664nhqx,

So the 2 of your reporting here are using left to right languages. Just changing an English sample to right to left does not show the symptom. I’ll try to test further.

Arabic works fine for me, both in graphics and captions tabs. Tried setting the direction left to right, and right to left, it’s working in both cases. I’m on windows 11, V26.3.0
I wonder if it’s a Mac only issue...

Thank you all for the quick response! I had to downgrade my version in order to keep on working, so it’s all good for now.

I forgot to add that I’m on a Mac, not Windows, and the language is Hebrew

@Otzar,

Thanks for the response. What version did you downgrade to?

@Otzar,

I am not seeing this in PR 26.3.0 on Win 11.

I can double-click to enter edit mode in the text for both graphics text and captions.

If you click on text in the text panel and hit the Enter key, does it enter edit mode?

If you’re in 26.3 and experiencing this, I’d troubleshoot in this order:

Reset your workspace. Close and reopen PR. Create a new project, add one clip and create a sequence, add one graphics text instance with the Type tool. Double-click in the text panel? Does that work?

Restart PR and hold the shift key down. In the reset dialogue, clear the media cache. You can reset preferences, but if you have a lot of customization, I like to hold that off, and also backup you main profile folder first.

Hi @Otzar ,

Welcome to the Premiere forums! We are glad to see you here. We need a few more details to help us understand the issue. Please see, How do I write a bug report?

It can also help to know a little about the text you’re editing. What is the primary language? Is it an imported captions file? Does the graphic have multiple layers of text? This will help us reproduce the same issue on our end so we can understand what’s happening.

Thanks for reaching out. I hope we can help you soon. Sorry for the frustration!

Thanks,

Amy
