P: Random "Right to Left" Text Glitch

I have installed both. Czech and English and now I am running English with czech keyboard. And text layers are created with English:USA by default.

How much should I uninstall? Installing new version of Photoshop 2015.5 > 2017 is not enough?

Sure enough -- I only raise the idea cuz we saw it before.Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling -- it REALLY sounds like your installations are configured to default to the MENA (Middle East and North African) settings. And, like I said, I haven't heard of this elsewhere.Also, and this just occurred to me, there's a chance that your particular linguisitc SKU might have a bug. What language are you running Photoshop in?

I think paid subscription and prerelease are enough legal source 🙂

Anyway this bug is present in CC 2015.5 and CC 2017 probably also in CS6 (not sure which version has my boss)

Howdy Jaroslav,

If you're seeing this text directionality problem after you set a paragraph style, my first thought is that you should make sure you got your copy of Photoshop from a legal source. I say that because we did have a few reports along those lines a few years ago, but they all boiled down to hacked installs. I kinda doubt that is a real issue today, but it's worth looking into as I haven't been able to repro the problem nor has anyone else in-house. Another idea is that your installer settings somehow got corrupted so that your PS thinks you're running English for Arabic or Hebrew users (the only English SKUs which will default to R2L -- the only other SKU is North African French). I will, however, have more time in the near future (been busy with today's release) and I'll start playing with your sample file in earnest...

Thanks,

David

Hello all,

I've been working on old PSDs the last little while and have not encountered the R2L issue. So it looks like any existing PSD that had L2R directionality stayed that way. I'll continue to keep an eye on the issue for newly created documents.

It happened again. Newly created, non-saved document. I woke-up PC from hibernation.

It happened again in most recent version. It was new unsaved document. No script executed. And I was switching windows between avocode, visual studio and photoshop during my work with this document.

The interesting is, that if I set paragraph style, then it is reseted to wrong settings if I create new text layer.

Thanks. Got the email. David and I will take a look.

I will send it to you e-mail.

Can we get a copy of your script and the PSD to run it against?
