P: Find Layers, Name field becomes out of focus when entering text

[tbirdie]

For those of you who use the search layers function in photoshop often, have you been having an issue with it over the last few months? Every time I start to type something now, it loses focus as if I’ve clicked out of the text box, but I haven’t. I can get 1 letter, maybe 2, before the focus is no longer in the text box. Is this happening to other people or am I doing something wrong.

Using my Macbook pro and photoshop v 25.12.4

@tbirdie Thank you for reporting the issue. I was able to reproduce it. It seems this issue has existed since version 25.10 (Ps 2024.) The team will be looking into it.

In the meantime, a workaround is to select Background layer  or select no layers in Layers panel when entering the search text in Name field. I hope this helps.

Awesome, I appreciate you looking into that and working on a resolution.  It really messes with the workflow, all the extra clicks around to finish typing.  Looking forward to the fix!
