Brian_J Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 In the V1 apps, if the cursor is active in a text object, clicking the text layer in the Layers Panel escapes the cursor... resulting in the text layer being selected with no active cursor, so I can to use a keyboard shortcut (i.e., using a shortcut doesn't type anything into the selected text). In V2, clicking a text layer does not escape the cursor from the text object. I often use the ESC key to escape the cursor, but depending on where I'm at in my workflow, it's convenient to have the option to click the text layer. I'm assuming this is a bug because I don't know why it would have changed in V2. There are several posts about an issue selecting text. The issue I'm reporting seems unrelated, but I mention it in case the code is somehow related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah okay, yes that works for me. In V1 clicking the layer thumbnail escapes the cursor, I didn't realize the location moved to the layer icon. Thanks for your help.
