Shortcut keys overriding while typing

[thesujxl]

Hey everyone,

I've been running into an issue where shortcut keys are being triggered while I'm typing text in Premiere Pro.

For example, when typing on a text layer:

Instead of just typing, certain keys act like I'm hitting a keyboard shortcut (like “C” switching to the Razor tool or “V” switching to the Selection tool), even though my cursor is clearly inside a text field.

• Premiere Pro version: 25.3

• OS: MacOS 15 Sequoia

• What I’ve tried:

  • Restarting Premiere

  • Resetting preferences
    
    

Has anyone else experienced this? Any known fixes or workarounds?

Thanks in advance!

@IanB_360, or whoever gets to this first!

A fix is reported for something in the related thread, and I report there that the bug in this thread is NOT fixed in PR Beta 25.6.0.64 (9/12/25). There is no new PR Beta update so far today. I had not tested in the new PR Release 25.5.0, and I just confirmed that it is present there (as expected).

I also suggest there that this separate thread is preferable (to merging any more of the reports there), because the symptoms are slightly different.

@santiagosas,

When I saw your post, I tested in PR Beta 25.6.0 Build 74, and it is FIXED there. We do not know when it will hit a release version, but that is good news.

For now, use the workarounds: don't select the text tool before editing in the Program Monitor, or edit in the Caption tab.

@IanB_360,

FYI re fix in Beta. Do we know the source of the problem?
