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

Hey Kevin, glad to help. The text panel is very powerful but for some reason it does not get enough attention from Pr users.

---

You can edit the text in the Text panel instead. This works perfectly and avoids the bugs in the Program panel. For now, I believe you can use the Text panel as a workaround for that issue until the bug is fixed.

Thank you for the idea of an acceptable workaround @Ali Jaber  . You're a great help!

Cheers,
Kevin

Honestly I am done with this priemere pro so many bugs and crashes literally can't work smoothly 😞 wish they could have invested more on making better rather than responding here.

I apologize for the frustration, @Santosh35865464hmus. The team is hard at work on a fix. I assure you. Please take care.

Thank You,

Kevin

I've encountered some issues when writing Arabic text directly in the Program panel. Fortunately, there's a simple solution! You can edit the text in the Text panel instead. This works perfectly and avoids the bugs in the Program panel. For now, I believe you can use the Text panel as a workaround for that issue until the bug is fixed.

Hi please fix this text tool asap whenever it type something it forces to the shortcut keys and it's been almost 10 days there is nothing fixed from Adobe's side and it's literally affecting my work and projects, I don't understand that we pay for this and it's getting more worse and worse, it isn't easier to shift to another program if it was i would have literally consider to replace this software and shift to another program. 

I am using Version 24.2.1, the latest update

Hi @MrSpaceman and community,

We have changed the status of this bug to "Investigating," as the bug previously marked as fixed is not fixed yet. We apologize for the frustration this issue is causing.

Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks, @Stan Jones. I merged the two bugs for the product team. I appreciate you alerting me to the other post.

Cheers,
Kevin

@clicker,

Wow.

I tested in 24.2.1. All was okay until I added a mask in the Text layer (via Effect Controls). It was still okay. I could add new layers in the text object, edit old layers, and create a new graphics text object. But as soon as I deleted the mask, I could no longer do any of those. I got the functionality back by closing and reopening the project - I did not restart PR.
