Question

All text in Generative Fill prompt window becomes selected with one click

When typing text into the Generate Fill or Generate Image prompt box (or in the Properties panel), the entire text becomes selected anytime there is a single mouse click inside. People expect to be able to click one time to place the cursor, not to select text. MANY times I have clicked once to place the cursor and typed one character before realizing all the text was selected--AND THERE IS NO UNDO so I lose all the text every time. Feature Request: Do not select all of the prompt text when there is a single click in the text box--use standard conventions that require double-click for one word and triple-click for full line or full paragraph.

Hi @Nino Pero! Thanks so much for reaching out.

I gave this a try on my end but wasn’t able to reproduce the behavior you described. Could you let me know which version of Photoshop you're using? And if you're able to share a quick screen recording of the issue, that would really help us get a clearer picture of what might be going on.

Thanks again!

Hi @Aleke, I'm on v. 26.8.1, and attached is a screen recording. This issue used to happen in Illustrator as well (again only in the Generate Vectors text entry box), but that seems to have been fixed now--maybe it's a known bug they are already working on?

Hi @Nino Pero! Thanks so much for sharing the screen recording.

I followed your steps on my end, but I wasn’t able to reproduce the same behavior, though I’m testing on Windows. I’ve asked a few colleagues using Macs to check and see if they’re seeing the same thing on their side.

Really appreciate your patience while we look into this!
