[Text]-Unable to write both new text and highlight old one in XD.

[Tina Molina]

When using the "text" tool, the program flies. It is impossible to write both new text and highlight the old one

[Daniil Kardapoltsev]

The problem is, when you use "text" tool, the program quits?

[Tina Molina]

Yes

We just released XD 2.1, which fixes this issue. If you don't see the update immediately, launch the Creative Cloud desktop application, click on the ... button in the upper right hand corner, and select "Check for App Updates." Thanks again for your patience as we worked to resolve this issue!

Hello! This comment was posted in 2017, but wanted to say I'm working in the program in 2021 and this issue is still present.

Why I am still getting this issue on my XD? I can't even edit my text. The program freeze, everything cannot be clicked. Please resolve!!

Hi Rifki,

Sorry to hear that you're having trouble editing the text in XD. A few more details would be super helpful like:

• The OS and XD version of your machine?
• If you have another computer, could you try reproducing this issue on it and let us know of your observations?
• Have you installed the latest updates to your graphics drivers? Visit the manufacturer's site to check for and apply the latest updates to graphics drivers.

Awaiting your response.

Thanks,

Harshika

Hi Khalid,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble with the text tool in XD. Is it possible for you to share a short video of your workflow so that we can replicate it at our end? 

We will try our best to help.
