Has anyone else noticed a few issues with the 2026 Layout update?

@SketchUpTeam

While working in Layout, I realized that in the 2025 version, we could simply select the text, click on the highlighted box (shown in red), and type the name of the desired text style directly. That shortcut no longer works in the 2026 version — now we have to manually scroll through the list to find the right style, which really slows down the workflow.

Also, the UI for the tray on the right side feels a bit off. The divider lines seem thicker, and the colour wheel looks pixelated compared to the cleaner look in 2025.

If possible, it would be great to revert to the previous tray styling and bring back the quick text-style selection feature while keeping the rest of the new improvements.

There are know bugs in Layout 2026 including the Text Inspector one you describe. Hopefully these will be sorted in the next patch release.

As for the UI change – overall, generally, I don’t mind the new UI direction. You highlight the heavier line borders to the colour swatches – actually that particularly is something I find quite refreshing!
