Can't change colour to highlighted text

[mattyB]

Some text needs a different colour (links). However the the focus of the text needs a double click to then be able to apply a colour. The colour is then not assigned to the highlighted part.

The only way you can do it for a while (after some update) is to use a color panel, and not Libraries.

I'm also having this issue.

Windows 10 / XD 35.3.12.2

In recent versions, you used to be able to highlight a span of text, then click a library color to change just that span.  Now if you do that, it changes the color of all the text in the text box.

Hi there,

Thankyou for reaching out and reporting the issue to the community where you're unable to change the color of the highlighted text from the document asset panel and thanks Monetrxz for sharing the workaround solution. I would like to know after which version update you've started experiencing the issue. Have you started experiencing this behaviour in XD 35.3 version? 

I will try my best to investigate on the issue.

Thanks,

Harshika

Thanks for sharing the info, MattyB. I would also like to know if this is happening with every file? 

Thanks,

Thanks for sharing the workflow. Are you still experiencing the issue with XD 36.1 version?

I will try my best to help.

Thanks,

Harshika

[Nadia5C1D]

Yes, it's still broken as of XD version 36.1.32.5

[HARSHIKA_VERMA]

This is not good. I will try to investigate the issue more. The current version of XD is 36.2, please try updating once and see if that helps. I would also request you to please check the latest updates to your graphic card driver and share results.

Thanks,

Harshika

Still broken as of XD 36.2.32.5.  Graphics card driver?  You're an Adobe employee right?  Use Adobe XD with Windows 10 and see the issue for yourself.

[HARSHIKA_VERMA]

Yes, we are able to reproduce the issue at our end and thanks for reporting it. The bug is already been logged and the team is working on it. You will definitely see the improvements in the future releases of XD.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks,

Harshika

Hi, this appears to be broken again in the latest release, except now the issue extends to font styles as well.

Currently, I can not highlight a portion of text, and change the font weight (for example to make a few words bold).

I'm using XD version 42.1.22 on macOS Mojave 10.14.6

Should I start a new thread / ticket about the issue? This is really quite urgent.

I now have this issue as well in version 49.0.12.14

I cant reproduce bug on Win 11 with  latest version xd. Able to change font, color.
