Hello @marc.bookman !
Thanks for sharing this issue with us.
Would that be possible for you to record a short video of the problem (better on the phone camera and not via screen recording) and mention a time when you do this and upload to our media storage ?
Thanks!
Regards.
Alex, I uploaded the two videos.

Win
In both cases the playlist fields (maybe others) are unusable. I am now trying to migrate 73GB of music over to Roon from Apple. So far so good. I have a lot of files and playlists to edit now. On iTunes names are very easy to edit. I am seeing this as a big issue with Roon so far. Hopefully this is resolvable.
Thanks,
Marc
Are you using a Snapdragon PC running Windows 11?
Hi @marc.bookman,
Diagnostics indicate that you might be using a Surface tablet as a Roon Remote in the screenshot. Can you please confirm whether that’s the case?
@Geoff_Coupe is inquiring about whether this is a Snapdragon-based PC because that particular chipset exhibits a known bug with text rendering in Roon.
If you confirm that you’re using ARM-based hardware in this screenshot, we’ll go ahead and merge your report into the main tracking thread here:
Yes I am on a Surface with ARM. But the iOS ARC app though is doing something similar in that when you open the field to edit the text all disappears and there is no way to copy the text into the field. So iOS is also dysfunctional. Please check iTunes Windows and Apple Music on iOS to see how they handle the text and titles editing which is very efficient.
Hi @marc.bookman,
Does the same issue occur on your iOS device if you use a different machine to run Roon Server? Let me know if you’re able to test this out even temporarily.
Thank you!
Hi @marc.bookman,
Thank you for confirming the specific Windows hardware - you’re unfortunately experiencing a known issue. Please see the tracking thread shared three posts above, where the team will provide updates as a fix proceeds through the pipeline.
As for ARC - ARC and Roon don’t share underlying frameworks, so we’ll need to investigate your report about text in ARC as a separate bug.
So far the team hasn’t reproduced the behavior you’re describing - are you able to share a screen recording or a short video illustrating the text problem in ARC? Does this occur with text entry throughout the app or only in the main search bar?
Thank you! We’ll watch for your reply.
Thanks. Check the original reply or one of the replies where an upload link was shared. I posted two videos there. One for the ARC bug. Thanks. If you don’t get it I can send again.

Hi @marc.bookman,
Thanks for the reminder! We were able to review the Arc video, but unfortunately, we still need additional details around the issue you’re reporting.
Just to confirm: when you select “Rename playlist,” the original playlist name doesn’t auto-populate for editing. Instead, a blank field appears and you have to manually re-enter the name. Is that correct?
If so, this is expected behavior. Certainly, let me know if I am misunderstanding here. Thank you!
Here is another video. The field is empty when you open it.

Let me know if any further questions. I am hoping the text issue on ARM gets fixed asap too.
Hi @marc.bookman,
Thanks for sharing the video! I can confirm, that is expected behavior in Arc - the playlist name will not appear when you select the ‘rename playlist’ setting.
Progress is a bit slower than we’d expect, unfortunately, but when a fix is implemented, you will be able to see it in our software release notes here:
Let me know if you have any additional questions!
This may be the spec but I’d suggest to look at how other apps work. This is not a best practice. If I have a 20 character title with 1 spell miss, this requires me to retype the entire long string. Not very user friendly or a good UX.
I just want to add to the last comment. I just moved over 73GB of music from Apple to Roon/Tidal. The data is a mess now. It’s going to take me some effort to clean it up and get it where I want it. Many titles need to be edited. So it’s a process that has to be repeated 100s of times. The current Roon UI for text editing of titles is prohibitive to enable this to be done in any efficient way. It should work with double click/tap, cursor appears in that spot, make edit and leave. This is the best practice for this UI. Roon is great elsewhere but one reason I moved here is for the better metadata, search and control. But without a good editor it’s all for naught.
Hi @marc.bookman,
If you’d like to see a feature change, I’d highly suggest adding it as a feature request over in our #feature-request category, which can be found in Feedback.
It’s worth noting that Roon wasn’t built to be a mass metadata editor of sorts. If you need to groom your collection, I’d suggest using third-party software that was created for this specifically - many users enjoy using dbpoweramp. Perhaps it could help you as well:
I’d also give our KB on how Roon handles metadata a read as well:
Thank you!
It may not have been built as text editor but that’s exactly what it is enabling now. 
Tiny update with large benefits.
