pressing Space when inside a text effect

liormessinger

sometimes, when trying to click space when editing a typewrite text effect, the space doesnt type, but instead is used as a shortcut to play the clip

how do i fix that?

thanks!!

OK, you have found the same thing as myself. In my case I saved the project and reloaded the .vpj file. The space then worked OK. For that reason I suspected it was my PC and scrapped my forum entry.

This must be a bug and I found it only affected the small text entry window associated with the animated text entry.

Pretty sure NCH will check this out.

I'm not being able to reproduce this bug as long as the edit box has the focus. Have you clicked anywhere else when this happen?

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

Put two or three clips on the timeline (At point animated title entry 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?

Confirmed here; perhaps an incorrect key binding? As a workaround, use <shift-spacebar> to insert a space.

This issue will be fixed in next release.
