While inserting an attribute in the attribute editor the UI deselects while I’m typing.

Unless I get a single character inserted it becomes impossible to finish the value. Inserting the “key” is fine it’s just when I press Tab or Enter to insert the value.

You can see from this gif that as soon as I tab over to the value, the cursor disappears.

I have experienced this for a long time, did raise it with Pinegrow support, hopefully they can prioritise fixing this!

Hi @fakesamgregory and @TechAkayy,  
We will look into this. I thought the issue had come up before and was fixed. @TechAkayy do you remember when you brought this up?  
Thanks,  
Bob

My apologies @RobM, couldn’t find the email addressed to support at my end, but I have the note about this issue in my Notes app, so probably I missed to send this one across.

But, I think this has been a issue for a while… not sure if it was fixed and has resurfaced. Thanks for looking into this one!

Hi @TechAkayy,  
No worries, I was just trying to assess if it was fixed and then re-occurred, or was never fixed.  
Thanks so much for looking,  
Bob

Hi All,  
As far as I know, this is fixed. I just checked 6.2 and it seems to behave well.
