Type tool deselects itself InDD 16.0
Type tool deselects itself InDD 16.0
The bug has been already reported, it's been claimed to be fixed a while back, but actually still persists. I personally never had this problem before, but after updating to v16 a few weeks ago I get it now.
Typing "T" just selects the type tool very briefly, then changes back to the previous tool. Clicking inside a text frame has the same result, even if you get to select some part of the text, it just changes back to the previous tool in most of the cases. The only way to get it work, is to select the tool in the sidebar, however even there it takes several seconds to become active.
Using InDD 16.0 on a PC W10.

I have the exact same issue as Remo describes and it is driving me absolutely nuts as this feature is by far the most frequently used shortcut when working efficiently within Indesign.
Someone please help!

When I use the hotkeys T or V to switch between the Type tool and the Selection tool, the Type tool automatically switches back to selection after a pause.
IF I select the Type tool via the side tool panel, this behavior does not occur. This has been an ongoing experience since the 2021 update.
