Do you have an expression on the source text of that layer?

That could cause the issue.

I’ve been working on this project for a while.  Client wants changes.  I can’t edit my Text layers.  I double-click the layer, and it highlights and immediately unhighlights.

I click on it to try to insert the cursor and I see the cursor and my keyframes for a fraction of a second, then it immediately unhighlights and returns the text layer to a unactivated state.

Is there a secret lock for Comps?  My layers are not locked.

I tried deleting prefs, importing my Project into a new Project, and pasting all my layers into a fresh comp, and no luck.

HELP!!!
