P: Arrow key's stop working in type tool / text in CS6

When using a type/text area in PS my keyboard arrow key's sometimes just stop working. There's just no more feedback and I have to restart PS to 'fix' the problem. This is a very annoying bug which really degrades my productivity!

Please help!

As noted at the top of this topic: a fix was release over a year ago for this issue.

I just started having the same problem today. Is there a fix or work around? It's REALLY frustrating, since I make several graphics that have text. Thanx!

Hi Sander,

Yes, that's what I expected.  We fixed this bug in a previous version and I haven't heard anything about it since.  If anyone continues to have the problem, I would need some specific details in order to resolve the issue.

Thanks,
David

Hi David,

Haven't had this issue since almost a year and a half. I recall it was solved by upgrading to a new CC version at the time. Since then I have been happily Photoshopping without any major issues.

Sure, but it would need to wait until Monday after the holiday. Please contact me privately for details.

Hi Jon and Sander,

Any feedback on this?  I have tried repeatedly to reproduce this problem in Photoshop CC on both 10.9 and 10.10 and cannot.

Thanks,
David

Hi Jon,

Would you be willing to do a web-hosted screenshare to demo the problem for me? I cannot reproduce it and would like to help troubleshoot the issue.

I can also confirm this issue on OS 10.9.5 and Photoshop CC 2014.2.1 Release and has been an issue for at least 3-4 months.

Can confirm that this issue still exists in Photoshop CC 2014 latest update, Mac OSX 10.10. So frustrating!
