We’ve started work on polishing up those little annoyances in Elements… and one fix (among others) that will be dropping later this week is this one 😉

If you’ve been hit by this issue in the past, you’ll know exactly what this feature is 🤣

That’s a pretty good start to the new year!  
Just let me know in time when your list of “annoying things” that aren’t working quite right starts to get shorter…

I’ve also collected a few things over the past two weeks … 🤷‍♂️ 💨

edit: Just to be sure: the issue doesn’t only affect the text component, but the button component as well 😉

Should work with any inline editable text ☺

Yup, we’d like to hear those. Maybe start a new thread for those 🙂

@dan can you check, if I have a single text component on the screen I cannot enter text back in once deleted, need to add a text component

You know that there’s still no working undo using Text component…

Hope you correct this soon.

Ah that’s an easy fix… just make sure you have more than one component on the page 😉

Thanks, we’re aware of that, however, it’s not an easy fix as we’re working between macOS and a text editor inside of a webpage (it’s much more complex than you can imagine). Having said that, it is something we plan to fix in the future.
