How to enable scrolling when in a text box in XD?

I am unable to scroll when I have entered a text box. This can be irritating as there have been many instances where I need to scroll to see another element to help my finish off what I am writing in the text box but instead I have to click out of the text box before I can scroll, and then I have to scroll back and reenter the text box to input my text. It would be helpful to click into a text box, then be able to scroll to another area and carry on typing in the text box.

I think what Timw means is that if he creates a text area in Xd and enters a lot of text, if it overflows outside of the current view, you can't pan accross the artboard while you are editing the text. You must click outside of the text area first, and then you can move around.

 

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or just a missing "feature", but here's a video that will help clear it up.
