Im upset at the font isssue still being live - and now I cannot use clone stamp either. I immediately get the error "could not complete your request" and when I click OK the error just keeps coming back over and over until I close it via task manager. I understand I'm operating on an older machine but photoshop by itself has worked fine until the last roughly 2 months. I am also not seeing the option to roll back to a version that did work any longer either. It is definitely getting to the point of where Im going to cancel my subscription and switch to an alternative.

The issue is still there, this should be an issue it makes more work for a designer,... and the drop down menu... covers the image so then you can't see the image

Pretty crap that the font issue remains.

Maybe it's not a bug in Adobe's books, they might want it to work that way.

 

Might start testing some other Photoshop alternatives. I hate all the included cloud stuff that comes with Photoshop anyway, I only want the a photo/graphic (Photoshop) editor... not the other junk like lightroom, cloud storage and creative cloud etc etc. It's just bloat.

Just installed 23.5.0 and the problem persists. Thumbs down, Adobe.

@manishd10712088 that's not a discovery, that's a relic. 

What you described was always an option, but it creates unnecessary steps, ease of use, and also inteferes greatly with the on screen display.

So far no word of fixing it. The only workaround that I have found is to
click the drop-down menu on the side and scroll/arrow down from there with
the text highlighted. But to be honest, none of us on this thread support
that change, and it's a feature we've used for years now as well. I use
adobe because my company pays for it. For my personal work, I've moved over
to Affinity.

Seems like Adobe just made a Photoshop update that doesn't allow you to scroll through fonts anymore? Been using Photoshop 27 years and never encountered this issue. I type a word on the canvas, highlight the font in the top header menu bar and always use my up or down arrow to change the font in my design, but now you cant change fonts anymore. As a designer how are you supposed to see what you like in a design fast? This is very bad?

Addemdum to my last post: Photoshop will not save my file now. Every time I go to save, it just keeps showing this error message, and when I close the dialogue box, the file is NOT saved. I recently uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop. I don't know what else I can do to get this program to work as intended.

and now when I scroll through the fonts (with the drop down open, blech!) I get this error message: "Selected font failed during last operation. If problem persists, please disable font". It allows me to scroll through about 3 or 4 fonts (all CC fonts, BTW) before I get this pop up. It's exhausting running back to these forums nearly every day just to troubleshoot ANOTHER bug. I'm seriously just trying to get my work done here, Adobe. Stop making it more difficult, please.
