    This still happens on my iPad Pro (10,5") with the Apple Pencil Gen1, in Illustrator for iPad 3.0.6.

    This happens on my 2021 12.9in M1 iPad with Gen2 Apple Pencil whatever action is selected. Only time it doesn’t happen is if no action is selected.

    This is a bug that should be fixed. I really don’t understand why double-tapping to paste is even a thing. It should be super easy to deselect text. That said, the setting in the iPad app to deselect with double tap using the pencil is not working and this is a bug and a very painful one at that.

    To confirm, I am using the latest Apple Pencil and iPad Pro, all up to date, from 2021 and have gone into app settings-input-Apple pencil-double-tap-deselect object or path

    Fix this, please. I have no way of easily deselecting and it pastes things constantly.

    I’ve had the same issue. It turns out the 1st Gen Apple Pencil doesn’t support the double tap feature. :(
