AE has updated to 18.4 today and now I can't paste text from other applications like word or any text. This is a big issue with anyone using text in after Effects. When will you be updating this?? this is massive for a lot of designers.

    I can confirm the bug on an M1 Mac, OSX ll.4, and AE 18.4.0.

     

    You can't even copy and paste text from an expression to a text layer. The only way I have found to copy text and paste it to another layer is to copy from one text layer in AE to another.

     

    The same problem does not exist in the latest AE Beta build.
