Description Ben Strothmann 2019-10-09 23:31:27 UTC

SUMMARY
I'm editing an old poster from a saved template of mine. I'm clicking on a text layer with the text tool. It won't select. Therefore I can't click "Edit Text" in the Tool Options.

Often when I try to click on the text layer (with the text tool) I have to click just a little beneath and off to the left....  literally OFF the text layer, but there will be the actual text box that corresponds to the final layer.

As long as I'm talking about editing text, two last things:
- Very often, if I try to copy-paste text into the Text Edit window, as soon as I click on Save/Apply, the program will freeze and crash on me.
- Lastly, I appreciate that in the text Tool Options I can customize the character spacing.  But in Photoshop there are sooo many more options.  Small Caps, supertext, subtext, and most imporantly (for my anyway), Paragraph Style editing so I can adjust the Line Spacing!!  I'd love to be able to create one block of text and bunch the lines of text closer together... but instead I have to create them as two separate layers.


Thanks for your help! I love what you guys are doing!

Hi, could you please make a separate bug reports for every individual issue you have? All "please add options like in PS" wishes can be in one, but all issues like freeze or where do you need to click must be in separate reports and separately from the wishes. That way it's much easier for developers - they take one report, fix it and mark it fixed :) Then take another report, fix it and voila, you have two issues fixed :)

You can use this report to mention one issue and make new bug reports for all other issue mentioned in your desciption.

Thanks for understanding!

Was this old template made in Krita 3 or older? From Krita 4.0, there's a new text tool that cannot edit text created in the old text tool.
