P: Character leading broken

When I use the arrow keys on the keyboard to increase or decrease line-spacing in photoshop, the increments only INCREASE and they're in HUGE increments.

If I start at 6pt then, click the UP arrow - I go to 94.26pt


then, if I click UP again, I'm at 1282.7pt.


I'm also unable to decrease by using the DOWN arrow. If I do, the number increases again:

I've reset all my preferences. I've re-booted the computer. Still NOTHING. 

What gives? This is a pretty standard feature. Is there an ALIGN TO GRID setting or something - like there is in Illustrator?

Please help.

Things I have noticed are slower are Save for Web, also some weird UI things where windows open for no reason, but this is not necessarily Adobe, hard to pin down.

When I try to type in a number for the paragraph spacing it bugs and inputs a load of random numbers and symbols. I can not manually input a number and must select from the predefined options. 

Same here, OSX High Sierra in Spanish. Rolling back to CC 2017 as this is unusable at all in my daily workflow.

Yep, the Character Panel is broken for any Text layers that have been scaled/transformed. For now, you can open the Properties Panel and modify the Leading value for any Text layer you have selected. Don’t worry about the value changing from what you’ve typed in (another bug). You will see that the correct value appears in the Character Panel once you’ve typed into the Properties Panel.

If you are having the issue, it means the text has been transformed. The bad part is you don’t know what text has been transformed. TEMP FIX: Open the Proprties Panel and with the Text Layer selected, you can change the Leading there. You’ll notice the actual value reflected in the Character Panel even though in the Properties Panel it immediately changes to something else.

Why? The Properties Panel is showing the scale percentage multiplied by the value you type. So of the layer has scaled up, that value will show larger. If scaled down, that value will be lower. But it does let you type in the value you want. The Character Panel is broken at the moment. When 19.0.1 comes, the Character Panel should be fixed AND the Properties Panel should show the value you type regardless of the layer being scaled.

I am having the same issue, whether the text is transformed or not, doesn't matter. It will NOT let me put in the leading I want or need. This is keeping me from doing my job, on a program we are paying for. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

We're looking into these issues to fix in an update.

Just updated my Windows CC Apps to 2018 and now there are some pretty bad bugs:

- Editing the line-height of a font - for example to 16px outputs 67,121 (random number). Even with the up and down keys i get random line-height numbers. Only the predefined line-heights by clicking on the line-height gets results

- Saving for web STRG+ALT+SHIFT-S works only every third or fourth time

- Performance seems to be much slower


System: Windows 10 Pro, i7 4770K, M2 SSD, 16GB RAM

I think I've found a work around. Try entering the leading value in the 'Properties panel' rather than the 'Character panel'. The two panels will show different values but I've found this works for me.
