Double-click probability activation text editing has no response

Has anyone encountered a situation where the touchpad double-click sometimes fails to activate text editing normally?

I am accustomed to using double-click for text editing, but after updating to the latest version, I found it not very responsive, while command+enter works fine.

Hello @tryo - I must admit we haven’t seen other issues related to this. Also, we’ve been trying to reproduce this on a couple of MacBooks, but we haven’t seen any problems with responsiveness. Some questions:

  • Could you describe some steps to trigger this issue? The more specific, the better.

  • Are you finding this issue with any regular text layer, or are you using more complex documents? If so, could you share them with us? I suggest you send them to productsupport@sketch.com if you don’t want to share them publicly.

  • Could you tell us what hardware you’re using? Are you using a Magic Trackpad or any other type of touchpad? The hardware or its configuration could be a reason behind this problem.

Yes, I am using a regular text layer, the device is MacBookPro m1pro, and the system is 15.4.

I must correct that I upgraded from version 93, as far as I know, version 94 started a major overhaul, and I also tried it before and already had this problem. I haven’t upgraded since then, and now that I’ve upgraded to 2025.1, I still encounter this situation, and I have some doubts:

  1. When I was on version 93, my double-click speed was relatively fast, and it could activate the text editing state immediately.

  2. After version 94, the response speed of the text box has become unstable.

Especially when selecting text within multi-layer components (I know that command can directly jump to the selection, but there is a case of unresponsive double-click).

For this reason, I have had to resort to three clicks to increase the success rate.

Below is the screen recording of the situation:

This is the text I set randomly. Each time I move the pointer out, it is considered a double-click pressed quickly (two feedbacks from the touchpad).


The following test finds that reactivating the selected text layer has a lower chance of being normally selected.
