Bug: can't write Font name in selection field, text/graphics

[sinadolati]

I do a lot of text work in Premiere Pro and I've encountered an extremely frustrating new bug. When you're choosing a font, the field doesn't allow you to add more than one letter at a time. I have to physically click the field again to be able to write the next letter. If I want to choose FUTURA, I have to click the font field 6 times to be able to write it. I've tried resetting cache and all those ordeals etc. etc. as well. Please attend to this....

No I do not see it here.  Can you try again?

• Issue - Font selection field doesn't allow you type full word in one go
• Adobe Premiere Pro version number: Version 25.0.0 (Build 61)
• Operating system - macOS Sonoma 14.4.1
• System Info: CPU, GPU, RAM, HD:
• Apple M3 Max 64 GB unified ram, internal SSD
• Video format: Unsure but irrelevant to this issue, happens with multiple projects 
• Workflow details: Simple social media type video with text over it, but again irrelevant, happens with multiple projects
• Steps to reproduce - (Very important!) Very simple, I typically click T as the text shortcut, and when I hover over to choose the font, as I try to type in the font name, this happens.
• Expected result - Field should allow you to type in the font name fully
• Actual result -  Field allows me to type one letter, then i have to click the field again to type in one more letter, again and again

Hi @sinadolati 

Thanks for submitting your bug report. I have been able to reproduce this all too easily. It is a very frustrating bug as you have to click back into the search font box after every letter you type. I can not even type fast enough to get 2 letters in a row to search. I have created a ticket for this and sent it off to our engineer team. I hope we can help you soon. Sorry for the frustration!

Hi @sinadolati 

I wanted to check in on this since I have been working with support they are having trouble reproducing this error. I am also no longer to reproduce this error. Can you give this a try today and if you are still having this issue send us a screen recording of the problem when it occurs? I did this a few weeks ago and was running into exactly what you had described and today I can not reproduce this error.

Let us know how it is going for you,

Thank you

Ian

Hey Ian,

The issue persists everytime I try to use the Text tool with no exception, video attached.

@sinadolati  We are still looking into the matter. I know your OS was 

Operating system - macOS Sonoma 14.4.1

When I reproduced this error as you have shown I was also on Sonoma. I am currently on Sequioa 15 and can no longer reproduce it. It may have to do with the OS. We will try to narrow it down soon and I will get back to you.

Hi @sinadolati ! Your video really helped! Thanks for that. The bug is in the Effect Controls panel. We'll look into it. In the meantime I suggest you use the Properties panel instead of the Effect Controls.

Thanks for letting me know, I'll use that for now! There are a few other bugs I've noticed for a long while that I'll add soon on separate threads

Lately with the new update to Premiere Pro 25.1.0 (build 73)  I'm trying to change the font on some text, and when I type the name of the new font into the font name box only one letter at a time is typing, I have to keep selecting the font box.

It used to be fine I could type the entire name of the font into the font box and it would find the font I'm after. Now I have to keep clicking the font box....

Also, you can't select the exact size of font that you want any more, the size has been removed and there is only a slider. this is very annoying!
