text selector is still not working properly in latest version I just downloaded for mac OS AE v22.6.0

And you all here are wondering nobody is caring to comment on your passive aggressive posts? If you ar really as enjoyed as you say by this minor bug that is probably hard to kill, then write a letter to Shantanu Narayen. Maybe this is more effective than your posts here!

This is crazy. My work pays $16,000 for Adobe CC licenses and we are seriously rethinking it with bugs like this.

This is killing me!! Comon Adobe!

How can you make the same mistake few times ?

You should integrate it in your process.

Oddly enough, I've found that if I click+drag fast enough it'll usually highlight that last character (in either direction).
The limits are that you must be at least 1-2 characters away from the end for this fast drag highlight to work. For instance, if I have the word "Adobe" I could click+fast drag on either side of the "o" to get either "Ado" or "ode", but it won't work if I only try to select "e" or "A". Of course, clicking then shift+click anywhere still works to highlight any section.
That said, this seems pretty basic functionality, so I'm not mad, just disappointed.

I saw the new update for After Effects (22.6) come through this morning...Absolutely baffles me that this doesn't contain a fix for this...Seriously unbelievable.

Why wasn't this fix part of 22.6?! You've already fixed it one time before for crying out loud. Now you're saying it has to wait til version 23?!! Move this up the line cause It's been far too long adobe!

When is this fix going to be released? I'm working with text titles today and the inability to select an entire line of text or even place the cursor at the end of a line is totally frustrating, not to mention time-wasting.

It's mind-boggling that an update for such basic functionality has still not been released! Where are Adobe's priorities? Seems not with their paying customers...

Why not release a patch fix for current version instead of having us download a beta which most certainly have other bugs?

I think it's kind of ridiculous to have to go for a beta version or revert to a previous version every time there is a bug.

Hi, I downloaded the latest beta and this issue still persists. This basically inhibits me from doing any work efficiently being that I work with a lot of text on a daily basis.

Please fix this very BASIC and core issue. The stability and updates for AE and Premiere have been extremely disappointing. It feels like you people just stopped caring about your user base.

Great, the Beta is not available in ireland. So all your customer who pay €69 a month for your faulty software are expected to just wait till you fix one of the most used tools in after effects while still trying to work. It's a disgrace adobe, no wonder you stocks are falling through the floor.

"If you do experience any issues with After Effects (Beta), please report them on the Beta forums that are accessible via "Report a bug"
So is that Adobe's new policy? Make its customers the beta testers of the versions in development of its software...!?!
I'm really looking forward to a new company breaking Adobe's monopoly!!!

Good Lord, this is annoying.

I'm glad I'm not the only one, seems like this should be fixable. C'mon man.

@Fabrice Yes the version he is referring to has been in Beta for ages! We have jobs to do and don't trust a beta version.

They should really fix their release schedule so the smaller bug fixes get pushed out sooner while they are testing the bigger changes like the properties panel etc..

Working with text is a core element of the process and this issue trips me up everyday!

Hi!

Am I the only one to think that it is delirious that the "solution" to a bug of a professional software, is... to use the "beta" version...???

We're just talking about selecting text, guys...!

As Steen Waldorf stated. The bug is still there in 22.5
I am on a MBP M1 max on the latest Monterey

This issues has sadly not been solve yet, and im using version 22.5.0 build 53

Hello and thanks for the update. I can confirm the beta seems to have resolved the issue on my end. I hope this fix can get pushed out to the active version soon. Thanks!
