This is the workaround those of us on this forum are working about. That isn't a solution. especially since the menu takes up a good portion of the screen. This problem (among many others such as what Adobe did with guides) are still not resolved. These workarounds still have an impact on day-to-day professional use.

I found a way to scroll through fonts in the newest version here is the answer " just click the dropdown once in the fonts tab then you can scroll through fonts. Reply if it works for anybody

I use a laptop and am not using a secondary monitor so having the fonts in the drop down with the scrolling mouse doesn't work well for me. This is a frustrating issue for me.

8/8/2022 I am having this same issue as of the latest upgrade a few days ago. As of yesterday, downgrading to prior versions also does not fix it.

Before 24.3.2, you could click on the font name to highlight it (either in the top toolbar or the popout properties window), and then use the arrow keys to step up and down through the fonts. This no longer works and there's no really good workaround. The arrow key function has always been very useful to quickly zip through fonts when previewing them in-context in the document.

Hmmm. I personally find it to be an improvement. Yes, the panel needs to be open to scroll with the arrow keys, but it allows you to start anywhere you want by using the mouse. Open the panel, hover to the area you want to start, then use the arrow keys to begin scrolling at that location - works fine. Also functions the same from the character panel. 
In the past, I found it annoying to use the old way. You always had to start from the most recently used font at the top of the list, then drill down. Each time you liked a font and used it, say half way down the list, then you wanted to continue reviewing more of the fonts in the list, you had to start over from the top... that was awful.

I have the same bug but with version 23.4.2. 

Use to be able to scroll through fonts with my arrow keys and it now no longer works. Had to roll back to previous version.

Any update on this? I refuse to use the new version of photoshop in its broken state - both the canvas size issues and this issue with fonts scrolling like an amateur program who just launched makes it impossible to use.

Just got a photoshop update today and it talked about bug fixes. Well... the only real bug I had which is this obnoxious text glitch STILL isn't fixed. Come on Adobe.
