Text Frame Panel Requires Text Frame to Be Deselected in Order to Be Activated From the Help-Search-Link


Recommended Posts

Hey folks,

this is quite specific, but I have noticed this behaviour over the last few weeks, perhaps someone can confirm this:
With a selected layer/object/text, when I look up "Text Frame" using the help-search and try to click on the option that links to the panel (located under Window → Text → Text Frame), I get an error sound and nothing happens. However, if I manually navigate there (again, with something selected) and click the help-search-link, it works.

To get it to work with the help-search, I have to deselect (everything) and then click the help search link.

I think I have noticed this with other panels, but this one has stuck with me.

Greetings
Dennis

This seems to be working correctly for me, I'm certainly not getting any error sounds and selecting Window → Text → Text Frame shows the Text Frame panel as expected if hidden.

I believe this can occur when the indicator/white arrow doesn't show next to the correct menu item/location but is a little hit and miss for when it occurs. However I've logged it with our developers to see if anything can be done to prevent it from happening.
