I am using Illustrator 22.0.1 to design a logo. I've tried this on both my MacBook Pro and on my iMac and had the same thing happened:

With the document open, I double-clicked on of the words to get the Type panel to open on the right. I then made my selection with the Type tool and then clicked the font drop down menu to change the font and started scrolling.

I need to be able to scroll through the font dropdown menu to browse the fonts so I can make a selection.

Instead, the font menu bugs out and automatically closes, and then changes the type I have highlighted to some random font.
