After upgrading to version 2.7 I have encountered two major errors that have already taken a lot of extra time and made working with Pro much slower:
"Active edit tool is filtering the selection" notification after using Edit Vertices.
I am reviewing a dataset and repeatedly going through a workflow of:
- Editing a line feature using Edit vertices
- Updating the attribute table of the feature
- Updating another table linearly referenced to the same feature. For that, I need to select the feature by attribute in another table.
When using the select by attribute after I have edited vertices, I keep getting the notification "Active edit tool is filtering the selection" which did not appear before the update. I understand that now I need to 'deactivate the current tool by pressing Esc'. However, this is very clumsy. If I edit the feature by vertices, I complete my edits by pressing enter or the green tick symbol, so the edits are done and the shape length updated in the attribute table. By that point the vertices do not appear on the feature anymore and it seems that the tool is closed, but it is not and still filters the selection, apparently. I therefore need to activate the edit vertices tool again and normally press Esc many times before it deactivates the tool and I could go on with my work. I also tried to press Esc when I have corrected the vertices (instead of pressing enter) but in this case the changes don't apply.
Any ideas how I can deactivate the tool right when I have done the changes? Before it worked nice and smoothly, why is this change necessary? I am going through these three steps I described hundreds of times and I am losing a lot of time now.
Unable to edit text on my layout
Does anyone have the same problem? Pro crashes immediately when I am editing text in my layout view. Furthermore, every time when I have tried to send an error report, it fails to send it. It happens very quickly: I choose to draw the text box and immediately when I am done drawing it, Pro crashes. I also tried to add Scale from the dynamic text options, which worked. However, when I tried to edit the text in Scale (I need to translate the word 'scale') Pro crashes.
Two pictures to illustrate the crash in layout view:
1. Adding text box
Trying to add text to my layout
2. Pro crashes the second I release my mouse to finish drawing the text box
Crash literally the second I finished drawing the box
If somebody knows a solution, I would appreciate, because I really need to export my maps.
Thanks!
