@VectorStyler The criticism was that it wasn't deactivating the field input together when clicking away from that panel, not that it didn't have that outcome (edit: Though I can see why that's unclear). It should ideally do that when clicking off somewhere in VS and it shouldn't be reactivated for input when moving back to that specific panel. But looking at the video, it could be a matter of an extended click zone for the type size field in particular in the Character Panel. I clicked in between the word Leading and Kerning (in-between those field labels) and it reactivated the type size area just now in testing...
Other areas of the interface are like this that when looking for dead space to focus panels or dialogs, it reactivates areas for input. It creates friction because it often is a habit with many users to either Escape or close out input by clicking white space in panels, etc. Edit: In most cases (if not all), it's usually input fields that take keyboard entry, aka text, that causes the most slowdown in this way.
