Adding text

[Rubyjim]

When adding or editing text to existing text frame. When I click in the text frame. In layers menu highlighted text frame  jumps to the under lying layer pixel layer.

I click the text icon cursor select text frame cursor changes to T in a square, I click in the text frame that already contains text. and text layer is deselected, the pixel is under is now selected.

Thanks

Are you saying the text is deselected when you try to select it? Are you using the Artistic Text Tool or the Frame Text Tool?

Yes. When I click in the text layer the layer becomes deselected. The pixel layer beneath becomes selected . When using the text frame tool [T]

Okay. It sounds like the pixel has more of a selectable region than the text, and therefor it is getting selected instead. In cases in which there many other objects such as backgrounds or in this case, pixel layers, which do not need selecting, just lock the ones you don't want selected at that time.

... or try zooming in to make it easier to click in the text box.

That works too for this example, but some other cases involve a selection bounding box to select multiple objects at once.

Ok I locked I locked the pixel layer. Now when I click in the text layer, the Background (locked) gets selected instead

I don't understand the problem then. It's got to be a bug, but I don't think anyone else experienced something like this. You may want to post this problem in the Bugs section since it sounds like you're doing everything right. I'm sorry I couldn't help.
