Editable text within the Properties panel Templates tab will not click to highlight

  • Issue: I cannot click+drag to highlight, nor double click to highlight single word or line on the editable text within the Properties panel Templates tab.
  • Steps to Reproduce: I tested the behavior occurred on a baked in local template Sports Lower Third Side as well as my own templates.
  • Expected Result: Click+drag highlights text, or double click highlights a single word or whole line
  • Actual Result: The only way to edit text is to click into the field and use a keyboard to navigate and edit text. My cursor icon does change from MacOS default to text highlight cursor with a line though it.
  • Screen Recording: I cannot upload a screen recording at this time. This format only let’s me upload images.
  • Premiere Version: Premiere 27.0.0 (build 88)
  • Operating System: MacOS Golden Gate 27.2.1
  • Chip (Mac Only): M5 Max

Helpful Context

Comparing when and where the issue occurs helps us narrow down the cause:

  • Does it affect all projects or only some? Yes
  • Does it affect new, empty projects? Yes
  • When did the problem first begin? In Premiere Beta 27.(?). Now present in Premiere 27.0.0

    Hello ​@RogerAtCat 

    Welcome to the Premiere forums. I believe I’ve reproduced the issue but please confirm this screen recording captures it. If so, you can add using the Text Panel or editing directly on the Program Monitor as workarounds while we address the issue.

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention
