Layout 2026 Issue - Can't Type to Set Fonts

In Layout 2025 (and previous), when setting a font in Layout, you could type into the input bar and it would help you find the font in the fonts list.

In Layout 2026, this no longer seems to be the case, meaning you have to scroll through the entire font list to find a font you’re looking for, which can be really time consuming.

@trent Was this an intentional change, or is this something that can be fixed? It seems small, but it’s actually kind of painful.

Same here.

  1. Click into input to select fonts don’t display dropdown list to select
  2. Click into input to font size, cannot delete and type in a new value.

This was reported sometime last week and the team is aware. Hopefully they’ll have a fix soon.

Text in general not operating consistently with 2025. While editing table text there is no cursor appearing where you click in the text box. Super minor issue but I guess worth a mention.

Thanks

Thanks for bringing this up and yes, as Dave mentioned we are working on a fix for this.

Followup to the topic above would be appreciated…if it’s goinfg to be a while then I’ll go back to SU/LO 2025.

Also keen to kearn about fixes for two other (possibly related?) issues in LayOut 2026 that affect text:

  1. the issue where the table formatting and other text entities are changing to the wrong (default/verdana) font

  2. the inability to select small font sizes within the Style tray

These two issues are becoming a significant time killer for me, and work is being issued to clients with errors, due to it.

And, further, are we expecting an upcoming fix for the years-old issue of multi line spacing?
