    Under "Extra Settings" you can find the "Raycast Target?" option. Un-selecting the option works to make the component not collect rays, HOWEVER, (in my experience), the option does not survive scene load. If you close the scene and reopen(or run your game and load the scene), the option will be checked again. Has anyone else experienced this (or is anyone else able to replicate this)?

    Thanks in advance lads.


    Running Unity 2017.3.0f3, with TextMeshPro 1.0.54 (according to the user Guide).

    I am able to reproduce the behavior and looking into it. I'll provide an update as soon as I have more information.

    P.S. To identify the version # of TMP, you can take a look at the names of the DLLs contained in the "TextMesh Pro/Plugins/Editor DLL/..." or "/Runtime DLL/..." folders.

    Update
    I was able to identify the issue which will be fixed in the next release of TMP. Until then, you can get around the issue by toggling any other property on the text object which will indirectly make the change to the Raycast Target save correctly.

    No wonder Unity brought you on board. Workaround works like a charm.

    Thanks for the quick reply. :)

    DAM ! I was having problems with my mouse/touch detection being intermittent after I switched to the new input system (now I know it is after having introduced the raycast component on my camera for the clicks to work with the new input system), so half the time, the clicks did not register... !

    After having seeing your reply to this post (which is BTW unrelated to my problem in regards with the problem reported in this post) I discovered I had TextMeshPro objects intercepting the raycast... I disabled the option on all my text object and BOOM, it just works !

    So a hundred thanks, you inadvertently help me fix the problem for which I have been having nightmare ! :D
