Hello:
I am working on an image and already have lots of text layers.
Now, when I try to add another text item it pops up as though I am editing a pre-existing text layer complete with the text and the message that it has been modified and I must choose between editing and creating a new layer.
This happens no matter where I click on the image with the text tool. And no matter what layer is selected, when I click with the text tool the pre existing layer is selected.
I want a new text item.
What have I done and how do I undo it?
Edit:
I have figured it out.
When I resized my canvas I resized all my layers to the canvas size. (Bad move)
So when I click on the canvas it thinks I am clicking on my text box.
I tried selecting the text and using 'crop to selection' but that didn't change the layer boundary.
I had to use the 'layer boundary size' dialog and enter width, length and resize.
