Text edit behaviour

Question

Hello,

I encounter a small but quite annoying bug since version 25.3 of After Effects. It is still present on 25.3.1.

Here's my setup :

Mac Studio 2023 - Apple M2 Max - 32 GB RAM - macOS Sequoia 15.5

Two Asus 279CRV displays

As you can see on the attached video, when using a one-monitor workspace, the application enters the edit mode properly when double-clicking on a text layer in the timeline.

However, when using a two-monitors workspace, the application quickly enters and exits the edit mode. If I want to edit a text layer, I have to double-click on it in the Composition panel, not in the timeline. This can lead to undesired manipulations, like changing the position of the layer.

Thanks for your support with that. Best regards,

That definitely shouldn’t be happening, and I’d love to help troubleshoot it with you.

Is this happening with this particular workspace? Can you check if creating a new similar workspace helps? This will rule out the possibility of the workspace getting corrupted.

Let me know how it goes. Moving this thread from Bugs to Discussions for troubleshooting.

Thanks,
Nishu
