I'm on board with this - been waiting for a fix forever, and would like to do something pro-active instead of sitting around waiting for you guys.

We have been working on a solution to these bugs for CS6 as well a for CC. While the transformed type fix for the Creative Cloud is already released, that for CS6 is still being refined.

If you are interested, I would invite you to join a special prerelease program to validate these bugs really are resolved. All you have to do is respond to this message. I will then submit your name and email address to the program. You will need to sign a non-disclosure agreement, since this software is not available to the general public. Then, you can download and tryout the fix for yourself. If we've missed something, your voice can help us catch it and repair it.

Thanks,
David

Hi Robbie and everyone else,

Yes, we have not forgotten CS6. We are looking into putting these fixes into an upcoming dot-release for perpetual users. At this time, that's all I can say.

Meanwhile, for those who have switched to CC, the first round of fixes are available today.

Thanks,
David

Yeah. What about CS6??
This was not a bug in the original CS6 release, but introduced by Adobe in an update. What do CS6 users do?

How about a patch for CS6? I'm not on Photoshop CC and have no plans to upgrade to it.

Okay, I can finally post this:

We have made many fixes to the behavior of transformed text and they are now available in the latest release, Photoshop 14.1, which you can download RIGHT NOW. I will acknowledge, there are still a few lingering issues to resolve, but for most users, these fixes should handle their problems. We felt it was better to get a partial fix out now than a perfect fix in the future. We are still planning additional improvements for a coming release.

If you are still struggling with problems, by all means let us know so we can make sure we address them.

Thanks and enjoy!
David

Jeff, your team made things worse. You now broke our script. Somehow Photoshop is still hanging onto the original font size in the text size area input, even after it's resized. Let me know if you want to take a look at the issue and I can show you our script.

If we create a NEW text layer, at the desired size, all is fine. But if we resize one to the desired size, it causes issues.
