Delayed update of Layers Panel for Frame Text layers


Recommended Posts

  1. Create a new document, with 1 page (the number doesn't really matter).
  2. Draw a Text Frame on the page. Note that the Layers panel shows that layer and (Frame Text).
  3. Add some text to the Text Frame. The Layers panel still shows (Frame Text).

The Layers panel does not update to show the actual text for that layer, until:

  • You add another layer of some kind, other than Frame Text. (Adding a new Text Frame does not help, but adding a Rectangle layer does.)
  • You switch to a different document tab and back.
  • You switch to a different Studio panel and back (e.g., to the Character panel tab and back to Layers).
  • You delete a different layer from the panel. (Simply clicking on a different layer, and/or clicking back to the (Frame Text) layer again, does not help.)

There are variants of this, such as changing the text in the frame, or deleting the text from the frame. The Layers panel update is delayed until one of the above occurs.
