Can't always type a space in animated text entry

[deleted]

I couldn't enter a space in animated text on small entry screen as it played the text clip instead.....but it seems to have corrected itself.:huh:

EDIT. Problem confirmed by a later post but it seems to be intermittent as saving the project closing VP and then reloading it corrected it. Error occurred when entering animated text (from all the various links) and only when in the small text window. Normal text entry (simple text, scrolling or otherwise) was unaffected.

Tested this process with animated texts and it happened again just once. Pressing Space just played the text clip with entry window remaining in place but text not receiving the space. Couldn't remember all the steps made so restarted VP and tried different combinations of entering animated title text (The different tabs/deleting the default/typing over the default/cursor line in different places etc.) but couldn't get this effect to re-occur. Odd.:huh:

Hi (Also copied to another forum thread)

Ok. I have a condition where this bug happens...e.g....

Put two or three clips on the timeline (At which point the animated title entry (like The wave) works OK.....i.e. Space gives a space in the text.)
Place cursor line at start of sequence.
Add a Crossfade transition of 4 seconds between clip 1 and clip 2 with Move Clip Location selected
Click Text Effects tab and select The Wave
Type some text followed by a space.
The space does not enter but the cursor moves along the text clip.
Repeated attempts to type a space simply moves the cursor line along the text clip.
Further text can be entered but not spaces.
The text cannot be edited after clicking it the clip bin so as to enter any spaces
Removing the transition and restoring the clip position still does allow spaces to be entered in the text edit.
Adding a new animated text also will not work correctly even though transition was removed
?Was flag set for THAT session of VP since....
Saving the project, closing VP and reloading the project allowed the animated text clip to be edited normally.

Can somebody check please?
