  1. Press T to activate text tool
  2.  Draw out a text area
  3. Attempt to type in said text area. Nothing happens

I'm able to use existing titles presets and modify those but if I try to just make a new text overlay/title, it doesn't work. I tried restarting the software, no use. Help!

 

Windows 11, Desktop PC

25.1.0 BETA (Build 6)

This post will likely get moved, but I posted a bug report in Beta, because anyone looking to update needs to be warned:

Build 7 is now up. When I update, I start with Shift+open PR, and reset preferences and cache. And I create a new project.

 

The text tool is not working: Click and type or Click+drag and type. The keystrokes execute as shortcuts. The Properties panel does not adjust to be the text item. The history panel shows no text creation - just whatever shortcut (e.g. typing I adds an in-point in the sequence).

 

Clicking the Text tool or hitting T does select the text tool, and it shows in the Program monitor. Click+drag does create a bounding box. Typing anything immediately executes a shortcut.

Working for me in Build 2. I'll retest when I update.

 

When posting bug report for Beta, be sure to use the "Provide Feedback" icon in the upper right of the Beta version, and pick "Report a Bug." That gets it in the beta bugs forum.
