  • AFX CS3 “Unknown Text Edit Error”

    Posted by Brian Charles on February 20, 2008 at 7:11 pm

    Two days ago I upgraded to a new Mac Pro 8 core running Leopard and CS3 8.0.2.

    I created a new folder in the Project Panel, before I could name it I must have clicked the mouse to exit the naming field.

    I got an alert stating:
    “After Effects warning: Unknown text edit error.”

    The application is stuck in a loop, I can’t rename the folder nor can I select anything or undo without getting the same error message.

    Is this a Leopard bug or is something else amiss?

    I did manage to quit. Not by force quitting which invoked the error message — rather I right clicked on the AFX icon in the Dock and selected Quit — which brought up the Save dialog.

    I saved, rebooted, opened the file and thankfully had lost nothing.

    File this under weird.
