Text Tool: MacOS on arm64: cannot add CR / LF; cannot paste from outside text editor; cannot select all text with a keystroke; cannot backspace; cannot navigate using left/right arrow keys
Description of the bug
I'm running MacOS Sonoma 14.4.1 arm64 (aka "Apple Silicon")
Using the Text Tool, I wanted to create multi-line text embossed onto an object:
Thing
<number>
...as an identifier for the object being sliced / printed
Shift-Enter / Control-Enter / Option-Enter / Command-Enter -- none will introduce a carriage-return / line-feed.
I asked about it in the Prusa3D Discord Server Help Room
User "Blue" -- a "Recognized Guider" -- said in Windows he could use Shift-Enter without a problem -- and suggested writing the text in a plaintext editor and then copy/pasting it into the Text Tool dialog.
Nope, couldn't paste from Sublime Text. It looks like copy/paste currently only works for text that's selected WITHIN PrusaSlicer.
Also, I'm unable to select-all text within the Text Tool with a Command-A / Ctrl-A / Option-A
I can't backspace over the text either -- whether I mouse-click to the right of the text in the dialog, or if I mouse-click in the middle of the text in the dialog
I also can't move the cursor within the dialog with left arrow or right arrow.
Per "Blue"'s suggestion, I've created this issue.
Project file & How to reproduce
Steps to reproduce:
- Using MacOS Sonoma 14.4.1 arm64 edition
- Download and add to empty build plate the STL for https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1177064 -- make sure the "top" of the cap is oriented down
- Download and add to the build plate the STL for https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3612382 -- resizing the X/Y to 37.7 mm diameter -- make sure the "top" of the cap is oriented down
- In Text Tool, try to add multi-line text to center of each:
- Add a CR/LF character
- Copy text from outside text editor and try to paste it into the Text Tool, both with Cmd-V or via Edit Menu > Paste
- Try to select all text with Cmd-A
- Try to left and right arrow around the text

And now I can't reproduce either. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
