Impossible to change font variation (bold, italic...)

1. New project, 4K for sample.
2. Add Centered title.
3. Don’t select a specific line.
4. Change font: the viewer changes live on the fly.
5. Choose Helvetica Neue.
6. Change variation (Bold, medium...): It doesn't change live.
7. Sometimes, it helps if you change the location of the playhead.
8. But the worst: Once rendered, you can't change variation anymore at all.

I can't reproduce this on my machine using the "Basic Title" - working fine here.

Does Font Book show any corrupt fonts or fonts with issues?

MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021, Apple M1 Max, 64GB RAM, 8TB SSD), macOS 12.6.6, FCPX 10.6.7

You have to choose the "Centered Title" wish contains two lines.

Ah, apologies... yes, I can now reproduce with the Centered Title.

i get semi-similar behavior. after changing the variation, no change appears in the viewer. i click the menu and try again and after skimming the title it finally updates. nearly never works or changes on my first attempt.

i sometimes notice a difference when i have text elements deselected, vs having a specific element selected in the text inspector.

That's it: the bug occurs when no one text are selected. And yes, sometimes, you have to change the position of the playhead to get the result of the variation.

Bug always here in FCP 10.6.8 :(

@Vinc26 - Are you able to reproduce in Final Cut Pro 10.7?

i am now getting blank menus when hovering over font variations.

update: i am no longer getting blank menus in 10.7.1 with templates that only have a single text element.
templates with multiple text elements still have blank menus while hovering over font variations.
