P: Text auto-capitalisation bug on iPadOS/mobile

When editing an existing text layer, Photoshop automatically capitalises the first letter of the first word — regardless of where it appears, and regardless of the the Shift and/or Caps lock status.

To replicate:

  • Add a text layer
  • Enter text
  • Edit the text layer
  • Enter text (capitalisation is enforced)

This can get very tedious when you’re editing large blocks of text.

Hi Nick,

I'm trying to make sure I'm understanding you.  Are you referring to the iOS standard of capitalizing the first character in a sentence in English?  That's not something Photoshop controls -- it's an OS standard.

I ask, because other than that, I'm not seeing any behavior like what you describe.  Sure, I get SHIFT on at the beginning of a new sentence, but this is an iOS standard for English and you can disable it by pressing SHIFT.

Thanks,
David
