Short description of error
When trying to change the material of a section of a text object (such as a word in a sentence), the material does not change for the highlighted text.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  1. Create text object and enter in text
  2. Create two materials that are visibly different
  3. Have both materials added in the materials menu for the text object
  4. Highlight a portion of the text in edit mode using Shift+(Left or Right) Arrow
  5. While in the materials menu, click on the lower material that isn't visible and click assign

For me, the material doesn't change when the assign button is clicked; I am unaware of any other method to change the material for text. Thanks for the help.

Here's the file that I've been using as a test. I've been trying to change the word "Text" from each object in the file from red to blue by only changing the base color of the material using the method I originally talked about. Also, should the method I described originally work for all materials used in the file, or is it only for a select few?

Indeed, looks like something is not working as expected here… Will check further later.
