Keep encountering an issue where when I use a hyphen and numbers the typing area jumps around.

Thanks for actively sharing the details. Just as a quick note, could you try disabling the following option in the Type settings:

Uncheck ‘Automatic Detection of bulleted and numbered lists while typing’ and restart Photoshop.

Thanks!

I wonder if it is using the Eurpean/rest of the world date format?

For testing purposes only:

• Can you try other dates? January 2–7, June 10—12?
• Dates should have an en dash instead of a hyphen. Does the same thing happen when you use the proper dash?
  Option/Alt + Hyphen or Type menu > Insert Special Character > Hyphens and Dashes > En
• What happens if you don’t type the month so it doesn’t think it’s a date?
• What happens when you don’t have number and only letters?

​@doganxiety9 Perfect! Thank you for all the information. Let’s try a few things to troubleshoot. Try these suggestions in order:

1. Double-check your settings under the type menu. Type > Language Options > Default Features is enabled.
2. Also, check that your paragraph is set Left to Right.
3. Try the type tool in a new document and see if you’re still experiencing this behavior.
4. Disable plugins: Hold down the Shift key and click to open the application. When the dialog box appears saying "Skip loading optional and third-party plug-ins?", click Yes. 

5. Try manually resetting your Photoshop preferences: https://helpx.adobe.com/ie/photoshop/using/preferences.html#Manuall. Remember to back up your settings before doing the preference reset: https://helpx.adobe.com/ie/photoshop/using/preset-migration.html

If you continue to experience this issue, I can send it to our product team to take a look and try to replicate it. Let me know how it goes! ^CH

Hi ​@doganxiety9, thanks for reaching out! This can sometimes be caused by a glitch with the Type tool. Let's try resetting it first:

1. Select the Type Tool (T)

2. In the top Options bar, click the gear/menu icon

3. Choose Reset Tool (or Reset All Tools)

Then test typing again. If it still happens, we can continue to troubleshoot the issue. I hope this helps! ^CH
