Bug: Font Selector not detecting inputs from keyboard

Hello, I wanted to share a bug I've been having to deal with for the past month or two.

The font selector isn't responding to inputs. 

i.e.: The current font is Roboto Medium, but I want to change to Arial Bold. Instead of finding "Arial Bold" in the list, I just want to type it out with my keyboard.

 

When I select the font or the font size, it highlights the name, but it ignores any input from my keyboard (Say, I want to type "ar" for Arial or B for Bold) - keyboard inputs aren't being recognized.


If I clear the field with delete or backspace, and then try to type it, it only recognizes the first input (in this scenario, "A" or "B"), highlighting the first font found (Agency FB comes first than Arial) and then it doesn't add the other letters afterwards - only the first one

 

It's been really annoying to edit documents lately, and adobe seems to be ignoring this for way to long.

Recorded a video showing the issue. I'm using the latest Adobe XD version (57.1.12), in Windows 11 version 23H2.

    Hi,

     

    Sorry to hear about the trouble. I got this tested on our end and it's working. Can you confirm if this is happening on a specific file or multiple files?


    Thanks

    @Rishabh_Tiwari Try to type more than a single letter. I've confirmed it doesn't work on Windows 11 23H2 & Xd 51.1.12.2

    Hi Spas K,

     

    Sorry for the delay in response. I asked my colleague to test it on Windows again, and it didn't crash on entering multiple characters as well. However, we did identified another issue wherein the font was not getting selected on the first attempt which I would be sharing with the team.

     

     

     

    Thanks
