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

ughh. This is happening to me with Photoshop CC (Mac)

David, I never used Chrome, do not have a Magic Mouse and no other utilities. An email I got today from Photoshop Family says the (apparently verified) bug is fixed so I will try that. Thanks.

We only got the information to reproduce it a month ago.
And as a publicly traded company, we can't tell you about future releases.

Don't hold your breath. They really have no reason to fix it, it's not like there's another software out there like this one..

So seriously Adobe... when is this going to get fixed. It is an incredibly obnoxious, workflow-breaking bug.

Yep I've got exactly the same problem you just mentioned! I'm running OS X Mountain Lion and Creative Cloud version of Photoshop. Sooooo annoying!

Thanks for looking into this. This happens for me all the time in CS6, as well.

billy noah,
Yes, I am able to reproduce this now.

Looks like this problem occurs when you enter any numbers in Character or other panels then hit enter/return keys. Note: Application frame is on.

Workaround: This is a focus issue so try clicking desktop or another application or select application frame off.

I will work with type engineer.
Thanks for your help!

It looks like it's been 7 months since this topic was originally opened. I've had CS6 for about 2 months now, and just noticed in the last week this same issue was happening to me. Incredibly frustrating as I cannot understand why a seemingly BASIC function of a computer just up and quits working. The arrow keys no longer work within a text area and neither does the delete key. I'm also noticing the font size isn't matching up either (this could be a separate issue), but occasionally an 18pt font (visually) will show that it's a 3pt font (no idea what is going on there).

Has anybody figured this out? The only thing I can do is restart Photoshop to make it stop, but it always pops back up. I've tried closing Chrome, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and other software but honestly WHY should I have to close these other programs down in order for the text tool to operate correctly in a different program? It IS a massive productivity killer (because here I am wasting time looking up the issue), as small as it may seem.
