P: Unable to select text or add new text with Type Tool

Unable to select or edit the existing text using the Type Tool. The selection gets instantly reverted. This also happens while adding new texts. Restarting the app is the only workaround. Here's a screen recording of the issue:

 

 

Premiere Pro Version: 24.2.1 (Build 2)

OS: Win 11 Home

Laptop: Asus Vivobook Pro 15

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600H

Graphics Card: Nvidia RTX 3050

Same thing, click on T for text, go to the video in the monitor to start typing, nothing happens. All it does is make new text layers each time and you cannot write on any of them. 

 

Mac Ventura 13.7

Premiere 24.5.0. Build 57

also on my mac mini 4 

same thing happens

Got it. Reason is that we had fixed a bunch of stuff since this thread started, so it's better to start new with the current status quo.

@AnnikaKoenig
It was originally a separate thread. Someone merged my post with this thread.

I do think the issue is related now after reading through this thread, but yes there are some specifics that may only pop up for subtitling vs other type tool uses.

@morphinapg It would be good if we could start a new thread with your issue and look at it closer without it getting in the weeds with everything in this thread.
