There appears to be a problem with the Text component.
If you select and delete all of the text in the component and then click out of it to another component. You can never get back into the component to enter text.
I have tested this numerous times now and am never able to get back into the text component to enter text. You can enter text after deleting all the existing text if you don’t click outside the component. But the minute you click outside you are unable to get back in.
Maybe I’m missing something but this seems to be a bug.
@dan and @ben I just ran into this bug from 6 months ago. It’s not fixed yet as far as I can tell. Is there a fix I can’t find? I’m trying to make a Template with empty text fields.
This is a serious issue and not fixed yet. I created a Template using Globals with global override text blocks. If I remove the placeholder text from the text block and accidentally don’t enter other text, then all is lost. I’ve tried everything imaginable to try to bring back the ability to add text again with no luck. The only solution is to start over again. I tried to replace the text block with a new text block, and that messed up all the previous entries I made.
Here’s an example. The empty text blocks are dead. No way to bring them back. The only solution is to recreate the page. Certainly not consistent with Elements claim of fast and easy.
I don’t understand why this longstanding problem has not been fixed. There are so many of these little things that seem to be slipping through the cracks.
We just need to add a way to get back into the editing box (or add back in some default text) if it’s empty.
