AE error : having to focus on ourselves. (76 § 59)

this funny error message pops up when I double-click on a texte layer to select directly a single word.
Apparently the text tool doesn't like to be too fast at clicking. I just click OK and i can go on.

If i just click once to "enter" on the texte layer to select text, nothing happen and i can continue to double or triple-click to select texts.

 

PS. My app is in french language. The message is not translated.

AE 25.5.0 — Mac Studio M1 Max — 32Go RAM — 130Go free disk space — Macos Tahoe 26.0.1 (25A362)

    TRUE !

    After several tests (uninstall - reinstall) the pop-up appears ONLY if there is ANY WINDOW OPEN from this.

    If there is no window opened from this, i can try hard fast-clicking, nothing is happenning.

    I will report this to their team.

    Many Thanks !

    Cheers

    I'm pretty sure this error coincides with the Mister Horse Animation Composer plug-in. Nothing to worry about, just the plug-in being cheeky.

        Yes i have reach them… "it is from AE"… so everyone claim it's the other and has no hands on this.

        Better to down-date the version i guess.


        PS I got same recommendation - roll back Mister Horse Animation Composer 3 anytime using the Mister Horse Product Manager. 'Known issue with last two versions of AE'.

        That's not ideal. Are there any third-party plug-ins or scripts installed? If yes, try removing them. You can disable the plug-ins from Effects > Manage Effects.

        Let me know how it goes.

        Thanks for your fast concern. 

        I started in safe mode (cmd + opt + shift) , brand new file, and it still pops up when my clicks are too fast on a texte layer., with the text tool. No pop-up when double-click with selection tool, which automaticly change the tool to text tool and having all the texte selected. 🤷🏻

        Did you disable the third-party plug-ins when you proceeded with Safe Mode? If that didn't help, go to the following location and remove (or move to a different location to keep a backup) all the files and folders except dummy.txt and try to launch After Effects.

        Location on macOS - HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plugins/7.0/MediaCore

        All the files and folders (except dummy.txt) in the MediaCore folder are related to third-party plug-ins. Moving them out will prevent After Effects from loading them. If the issue is related to plug-ins, you won't see the error.

        Let me know.


        Thanks,
