Hang when using Request Text Input action in template workflow

derickfay

I have created a new template which includes a Request Text Input action. Sometimes it works, but other times the template hangs - no new document is created, and if I try again, I get an error message that I can't use a template while a workflow is running. My only option then is to quit and restart the app. Removing the Request Text Input action gets rid of the hanging ... But then I can't input needed parameters.

This will be fixed in 1.2.1 (waiting for review), but for now, you can work around this by adding a Python script action like this before the text input:

import time; time.sleep(0.5)

Btw, you can also stop the hanging template by tapping on the workflows (wrench) button.

Using the latest version 1.3.3 I am getting this problem when text is selected.
The suggested fix ( adding sleep before Requested Text Input ) solves the problem.
