P: Unable to select text or add new text with Type Tool

Explorer ,
Mar 09, 2024 Mar 09, 2024

Unable to select or edit the existing text using the Type Tool. The selection gets instantly reverted. This also happens while adding new texts. Restarting the app is the only workaround. Here's a screen recording of the issue:

See this bug:

Fixed in Beta (I tested 24.4.0 Build 25), but not in the Release 24.2.1.

 

Till fixed, 1) try to avoid deleting any of those effects while editing text and 2) if you do, use Annika's recommended workaround (click on motion or vector motion and then click away). You can also edit text in the Text panel - Graphics or Captions tab as appropriate.

Edited 7/18/24:

The original bug in this thread was from early 24.x Releases, including 24.2.1 That bug was fixed in Release 24.3. But similar problems are affecting some users with 24.5.0, and those reports have been merged with this thread. I cannot replicate the problem in 24.5.0. Specifically, adding and deleting a mask in Effect Controls does not create a problem.

 

Edited 3/29/24:

This bug is fixed in Release 24.3.0.

Hi! Thanks for reporting this issue. Our team is investigating the bug. Looks like this is happening every time you delete an effect that allows Direct Manipulation in the Program Monitor (like a mask or the crop effect).

As bad as this is, at least we found a workaround that will hopefully get you editing somewhat smoothly again. If you enter any kind of Direct Manipulation before editing the text, it should work again. For example, click on "Motion" or "Vector Motion" in the Effect Controls pa
