Can't paste text inside any text field!


Recommended Posts

For some weird reason I can't paste text inside Designer's text fields any more. When I try to paste text to rename a group for example, Designer creates a text field at the centre of my artboard and pastes the copied text inside of it. If I try to paste text in a text field in the preferences for example, the text just won't paste. Everything still works properly in Photo and in Publisher. Has anybody had the same issue?

Affinity Designer 1.10.5 / macOS 12.6

It needs double clicking on the name so the words are highlighted. Otherwise you have simply selected the layer/group

Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Thanks for your input but I'm not that stupid... 😂 Even though I'm inside a text field, my text will get pasted in a new text box at the centre of the artboard.

Would it be possible for us to see a video of this happening?

If you can’t (or don't want to) make a video, can you give us a full-screen screenshot showing the application immediately before you do the paste operation?

By the way, how are you doing the paste operation?
