Context
My design workflow relies on custom sample text. I usually pick a sequence of similar characters such as “攱 竌 竍 竏 竐 竑 竓 竔 竕 竗 竘 站 竚 竛 竝 竡 竢 竣 竤 竦 竧 竨 竩 竫 竬 竭 竮 端 竰 竱 竲 竳 竴 竵 翊 靖 颯 飒 鴗 䇃 䇄 䇅 䇆 䇇 䇈 䇉 䇊 䇋 䇌 䇍 䇎 䇏 䇐 䇑 䇕” and then use the sample textarea as a shortcut to open them in the edit panel. My mouse hardware is Apple Magic Mouse, which is unfortunately very sensitive to the scroll action as it does not have a dedicate scroll wheel. During the focus transition between the edit panel and sample text, it is very easy to accidentally trigger a scroll event, which effectively remove the custom sample text. Currently the workaround is to store the sample text elsewhere and copy & paste it again. But it’s not ideal.
I am aware of a similar issue Saving preview sample text in the project file, but I can not find the User Notes in the tool mentioned in that issue. I don’t request the sample text being stored in the project, but it would be great if during the project is open, the sample text list will include the last modified custom text.
