Typing Activates Keyboard Shortcuts

Whenever I type using the text tool it activates the keyboard shortcuts instead of actually typing (selects other tools and functions).

I mostly use a subtitle present which I drag onto the graphic and type from there. But niether do the present and standalone tool work.
1. Drag preset onto graphic
2. Click Graphic to highlight text box
3. Type
4. Shortcuts are used instead.

I have double clicked the graphic in the timeline to full highlight the example text im replacing and still shortcuts are used whenever I type. This has only started happening after a month or 2 (been using the program and doing the same thing for a couple years).
I'll attach pics in case I haven't described it well but I saw others having issues from 2017 and the solution was to restarted whilst holding shift and alt (this did not work for me).

In Pic 2 you'll see typing i has selected Source IN on the timeline. In Pic 3 this is the only workaround I have for the time being - I cant select the graphic in the timeline but in the essential graphics tab I double click the word and type and then shorts aren't used. Weird.

I currently have no other plugins or panels installed.

JANUARY 2025 and this is still a problem. Ridiculous.

**HOWEVER -- I have noticed that this problem seems to only happen when you activate an existing textbox by double-clicking with your selection arrow. If you use the TEXT TOOL, and click into your textbox, it seems to work normally.

Still. Annoying.

This was fixed in version 25, but the problem reappears in 25.1. Also, 25.1 has many text-related problems and is unusable.

It happens when the Reference Monitor is in the same panel as the Program Monitor. If you drag the ref elsewhere, it finally works again. O_O

Well, you wont have to worry about that anymore, since the Reference Monitor has been removed. Very few people were using it.

I've been having this for such a long time now and it's still not fixed. What is going on? I'm paying a subscription fee for this!

I'm a mac user (M1 macbook Ventura 13.6.9).
I'm experiencing the same symptoms with ver24.6.1.
The shortcuts cause problems without me noticing, causing important clips to disappear and having quite a negative impact.
The reality is that it's difficult to use for client work.
I hope it gets improved soon.

This issue is happening for me in Premiere 2024 and never had it occur before. When trying to type text in a graphic editor text box, keys that are bound to shortcuts, such as typing a word with the letter "R", jumps away from the text I'm typing and launches the hot key. Maddening! Workaround is to type my text into Notepad and copy/paste into the text box in Premiere. ARGH.

Wow ... having this happen when "point text" typing is the normal thing. I'm not sure I've seen someone with an active text box, typing inside that box, have this happen.

Are you Windows or Mac? I know Windows is maddening about 'grabbing' any keyboard short using Alt if it thinks you might be trying to invoke a Windows keyboard short. And there's no freaking way to turn that off, though I've tried for years. As I have never wanted or needed to use a Windows 'system' command while in another program.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

I'm using a Macbook Pro M2 and having this issue again too. It came up in an earlier build, went away for a while, and now is present again in v 24.6.1 (I've given up on the Beta software due to a lot of these types of issues).

My only solution so far is to deselect everything in the timeline, then click the Motion Graphic item in the timeline which you want to adjust, and double click the text within the Program Monitor.

Dates don't help much, version numbers do. PP 24.5 is current, please make sure you are testing in that version. Beta is v24.6, and a build number. 44+

Yeah can confirm I am using version 24.5

Are you using "point" text, where you simply click on the screen to set a location, and start typing, or "box" text, where you click/drag to set a text box, then click inside the box and type?

In my experience, in "point" text work, this can happen at times. But I've never had it happen with text boxes. So ... if this is happening with text boxes, that would be very unusual and yes, bad.

As of 07/01/24 this bug is still annoyingly present.

Can also confirm, having issues with this still. My only workaround is ensuring the Graphic is slected and editing it in the Graphics tab. Not ideal.

I have even been having difficulty getting the graphics tab to allow me to edit text. So Premiere is thinking all my text typing is shortcut commands, AND it's preventing me from being able to type the titles in the Graphics Tab! I had to literally CMND: Copy an "R" to past into my text box... This software reaches new lows with every update. I wonder what we can do to convince the Premeiere develpment team to stop breaking features that used to work in previous versions?

Hi @Kobotnik and @Johan5E97,

Thanks for writing in. Please try updating Premiere Pro. That bug should be fixed.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin, thanks for replying. I use 24.4.1 which is the latest I can find in Creative Cloud. Still there. Best regards, Johan

OK. I see, @Kobotnik and hello, @TomCricket,

I am sorry that the bug persists in the current version. Is the same thing happening in a brand-new project, or is this with projects you have been working on from previous versions?

Please let the team know. I hope we can figure this one out together.

Thanks,
Kevin
