The same happens to me in v26.3.2 most of the time using Windows 11. Sometimes it works as expected but only god know when that happens.

It looks like this is fixed in today’s build 26.3.0 build 53.

But if I try to move a text block around on the Program Monitor screen, the motion is not smooth and it’s hard to get it to go where I want it.

Trying to move the text around makes is very jumpy/erratic

Yes, that’s a workaround. It does not work that way from Effect Controls.

What if you double clicked on the text in the properties panel.

Text will be red all over and editable.

Seems to be a known issue.

Sorry but this is a useless suggestion. They recognize there is a bug, but don't know how to fix it yet
