Clicking text layer in Layers Panel no longer escapes cursor from text

[Brian_J]

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.

FWIW it still works the same way in v2 Mac so this is a Windows-specific issue.

Hi Brian_J

This still seems to be working fine for me here on Windows if I hit the small Text box icon to the lefthand side of the layer in the layers panel is this not the case for you?

Thanks

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.
