Text-Based Editing: "Delete" button is greyed out when filtering Pauses

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to use the Text-Based Editing feature to bulk delete pauses in my timeline, but the "Delete" (trash can) button remains greyed out/disabled, no matter what I do.

Here is what I have tried so far:

  1. I clicked the "Filter" icon and selected "Pauses" (I am not manually typing "Pauses" in the search bar).

  2. I made sure no text is selected/highlighted in blue in the transcript window.

  3. I tried adjusting the "Minimum pause duration" in the search settings.

  4. I attempted to use "Re-transcribe sequence" to ensure the panel is reading the active sequence and not the source clip.

Despite this, the button stays disabled. It seems like the Transcript panel might be stuck viewing the Source Clip data instead of the Sequence data, or it's simply not refreshing the selection.

Has anyone encountered this bug? Is there a specific way to force the panel to switch focus to the Sequence so I can edit/delete the pauses?

Thanks in advance.
