Question

When choosing 'Generative Fill' in the toolbar, you have to also click in the textfield to start typing a prompt. This used to be ready directly.

[Photoshop Beta 27.11.0] When I click ‘Generative Fill’ in the toolbar, I am used to start typing, because the text field had the cursor in it already. Now I have to click the text box to be able to start typing. The result is:

  1. I click Generative Fill in the toolbar
  2. I start typing, using all keyboard shortcuts under the sun watching my screen jump around
  3. Sigh
  4. Cleck on the text field
  5. Start typing

This used to be a two-stop process, and I think there is no UX reason why the original behaviour should not prevail. When I choose Generative Fill I will type, or not, a immediatly useable text field is the best.

    I am having this too, but only about half the time. The other half of the time works as expected. Been meaning to investigate but it’s low on the priority list.
