P: Shortcut keys overriding while typing

I am experiencing the same problem until now and haven't found any fix aside from copy pasting the letter or word i need to use in the caption. 

Windows 11
Premiere v 25.3

I hope this will be fixed soon.

@morphinapg,

Thanks for reporting.

@Stan Jones I believe it still happens last time I checked, but I've just been using a workaround for myself. I noticed that if the mouse shows as a text selection cursor before double clicking to select the default caption, that's when the bug will most likely happen. But if the mouse shows a regular arrow instead, then I never have the problem. So if I get that text selection cursor, I click outside the caption once, which turns the cursor back to a regular arrow, and then I can double click to select the caption, and type without a worry.

But I do occasionally forget and encounter the same issue again. It's been maybe a couple months since the last time I was working on captions, but I do believe it happened during that project as well.

@thesujxl,

This is the first report I've seen in PR 25.3. Does this happen all the time, or intermittently?

This symptom had been created by 2 fixed bugs from 2024.

The first was fixed in 24.3, and happened every time you deleted an effect that allowed Direct Manipulation in the Program Monitor (like a mask or the crop effect) - Add a mask in Effect Controls; delete the mask; text entry shows the error. The workaround was to enter any kind of Direct Manipulation before editing the text - for example, click on "Motion" or "Vector Motion" in the Effect Controls panel.

The second occurred if the Reference Monitor was open. The Reference Monitor was removed in version 25, so that was no longer a problem.

There have still been a very few reports of this symptom, but none have led to a repeatable process. I have been unable to replicate.

All 3 of these problems got merged into the same very long thread, and it made for some confusion for users who continued to see the symptom.

To test further, clear your cache, start a new project, use a default workspace (and reset it to saved layout), then see if you get the problem. A screen recording would be useful.

@morphinapg, Did this get sorted for you?
