If I type large amounts of text in the text area I cannot go back and edit the text field nor can I edit the text in the popup. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/f/ffb22fe3fc085d92339341b38523bdc03695cb91.png) ---

After clicking the “page” icon, I was able to modify the text - and after then clicking outside the popup my modifications were saved. I also checked against a 7.9.X instance, and it behaves the exact same way. ---

It does not work with the page icon and if the text is over so many characters then you cannot even edit in the text field itself ---

We did have someone in QA report something like this earlier, but they weren’t able to reproduce the issue a few weeks later. Could you check for any errors in your designer’s logs? ---

Are you using Windows? We had a team member encounter the issue while using Windows, but I am using macOS. ---

It doesn’t seem to be the amount of characters, possibly a specific character you’re using? On build **b2019032102** I just pasted 300,000 characters and while the designer became sluggish I was still able to edit the property. ---

I am able to reproduce this issue with just enough “asdf asdf asdf” to have the (x chars) portion in the text editor. While it is strange that it did not occur on the Windows VM cmallonee has, I’ll write up an internal ticket. ---
