Help serious issue Webview on Mac (M1)

Photoshop UXP Plugin API
1

Hello,

now inside Webview page on M1 the text input is very limited. So

  • arrow/cursor keys
  • paste and copy via shortcuts
  • command + a (all command keys are not working)

so just

(inside a a dialog of course)
has got all the issues in YouTube search input for example.
I am using Photoshop 24.7 on M1 Mac and I think that this was working before in a version.
These problems do not occur on PC.

Thank you!

:thinking: I thought keyboard shortcuts weren’t yet supported in UXP for Photoshop, but I wasn’t sure, so we were asking around.

Do those shortcuts work without using WebView?

It’s odd that it seems OS dependent…

shortcuts do not work without Webview but this is not the point here.
Inside WebView the text input is extremely limited by now which is a huge problem with our plugin.

So you cannot make a textbox and move cursor or copy&paste there inside Webview on M1 - this is a very serious issue (blocker bug to be honest) since this is standard in every text input everywhere.

Any status update on this? I tested with current 25.0 version but WebView on M1 + text input is still broken. Thank you!

I’ve confirmed that the issues are reproduced on macOS WebView.
I’ve filed a bug to Adobe internal and it will be reviewed by PS team.
