when I'm trying to choose a font in adobe premiere, it will only let me type 1 letter

I wrote text on screen in premiere. then i went to effect controls to change the font name. So I typed H and it accepted the letter H. but then I tried to type the second letter "u" and it wont show up as I'm typing it. but i clearly have "huben" as a font in the font list within premiere. its not just this font. now I typed in "t" for times new roman (a built in computer font) but now when I type in the letter "i" nothing happens. its almost as if the font list only lets you type in 1 letter and then wont let you type in any other letters to properly choose your font from the list.
