In the latest update to Photoshop CC 2018, character leading is broken. I cannot type into the box or manually adjust with the up down keys. This is a bit of a showstopper...

I'm also having the same problem adjusting the leading. I'm on a Mac running El Capitan.
As soon as I start typing numbers into the box it puts them around the "pt" and adds 6.4 to the front (so instead of "50 pt" I get "6.45 pt0").  When I use the delete/backspace key to clear the box, it auto fills with some other numbers and the up and down arrow keys don't work at all. Here's a video.

I'm having a similar issue. I can't adjust leading manually. I type in 6, it auto-fills to 7.61. I type 8, it goes to 12.63. I hit the up/down arrow it jumps by 100s.

Hi, here's a Dropbox link to a video of the problem. Trying to select all the characters and type over them doesn't work, pushing the up or down arrows shoots the value up in 10000's of pixel increments. Can't remove all the characters and type a new value in either.

Hi Wesley,

Can you tell me more about the problem that you're seeing?  Are you on Windows or Mac?  When you say that you cannot type, what happens when you try to?  I'm seeing the issue you're reporting with the Arrows, though if you press Enter, then the display updates.  But when I type in a value, once I confirm, then things do change.  Are you not seeing that?

Thanks,
David
