Known Issues and workarounds:
– Text tool does not work with Labels only RichText components. Switch to Selection tool and double click on the label
– Text tool does not position the text correctly when over some container groups. If the text appears in the incorrect location move it
– Undo does not work correctly when using live editing of MXML. Go to the history panel and click Open and then click the last item in the history list. This rebuilds the document.
– Keyboard shortcuts for undo and redo do not work unless Selection tool is selected. Use undo and redo buttons or menu items.
