Text Input Tool not working reliably in 24.2.0 BETA (Build 68)

[Chanto327]

Ever since upgrading to this Beta version of the program, I am having semi-frequent issues with inputting text in my timeline.  When I attempt to edit the text of an existing Text item, I will sometimes need to select the Type Tool multiple times over, otherwise it will interpret my inputs as keyboard shortcuts instead.  On occasion, even selecting Type Tool over and over will not allow me to appropriately edit/input text.  I try to click on a part of the textbox with the Type Tool selected but it will not actually place the typing cursor into the box and I am unable to make any changes to it.  Trying to highlight a swath of text in the box nets the same result, it is immediately deselected.  I have not been able to trace a common factor that triggers this.  Restarting the program seems to fix it, but I never had this issue in previous versions.

App version: 24.2.0 BETA (Build 68)

Platform & OS Version:  Windows 11, Version 22H2 (OS Build 22621.2861)

Thank you for reporting this problem to us. This sounds the same as a bug we recently fixed. If possible, could you try it again from scratch using Pr24.2xBeta073 or higher on that same Windows system? Thanks in advance.

Thanks @jstrawn!!  After running the latest update yesterday (Pr24.2xBeta78 at the time), this issue seems to be dealt with!

Thanks Ann!  Apologies for the initial miscategorization!
