Text command Panel not closing with Esc

why is it that V8 has become so inconsistent? was never perfect but it keeps getting worse i feel.

in v7 and v9 the panel still closes, but something happened to v8. can we please not mess up every single sub function all the time, screwing up short cuts just generally v8 is still such a mess dynamic piece of sh***… come on guys…

I only have the title to go on here…
I run Text and wait for the dialog box to pop up. I hit Esc and the dialog box is gone.
Are you reporting something else?

yes it should close, but does not, i just updated to Version 8 (8.18.25070.14002, 2025-03-11) and the issue still persists. V7 and v9 work.
