Cannot enter value in Tab Stop fly-out in Publisher's Text Style

Recommended Posts

Here on Mac OS 11.7 I cannot use the number keys to change the values in the little fly-out accessed from the ... (AKA More).

Cannot upload a screenshot due to internet slowness I guess.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4

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

Is this the fly-out you mean? I can type numbers into this and use the up/down arrow keys on Ventura which I know is no consolation.

Can you type into equivalent field directly in the Tab Stops panel?

If you're talking about the Position field, it's working okay for me with macOS 11.7.1.  I'm using a standard Bluetooth "Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad".  Both sets of numbers (the ones across the top of the keyboard as well as the numeric keypad at the right) are okay.

Is your keyboard a non-Apple one, perhaps with extra driver software?

Wired Apple USB extended keyboard.

I can type into the field outside the fly-out. If it works for Ventura this may be an 11.7 bug.

My apologies, @Old Bruce, for questioning you.  I had not properly read your description and was looking at the regular Paragraph panel's Tab Stop position field.  It was only after having looked at the similar Cannot type text into the hex field for text colour when creating a text style post that I twigged you were talking about the Tab Stop setting in the context of Text Styles … where I do get the same problem that you described.
