P: Text Size Scubby Slider and Up Down Arrow no longer gives live updates

I updated to 19.0.1 this morning, and everything is lovely with the exception of the Character palette. I'm suddenly unable to see increases or decreases made to any inputs in the Character palette via the up- and down-arrow keys in real time (only when I tab out of a field or hit Enter to commit the change does the actual type onscreen update). I'm able to make updates with arrow keys in other palettes (e.g. Paragraph). I should mention that I'm on a Macbook Pro (OS 10.13.1).

I want to just post a bunch of swear words at the moment, David. The leading issue had a workaround. This issue does not. If I'm understanding correctly, not everyone had the Leading issue, but lots did, so the solution was to break something for everyone that has no workaround so some who were too "debilitated" to use a workaround could function?

It just doesn't make sense. I'd be more understanding and would respect the company's position if you said something like, we screwed up, then we screwed up again, but we're going to fix it right away. Not, we had a choice between two broken versions of our software and we chose to worst of the scenarios and hopefully you'll have a working version on the next dot release.

Infuriating.

The issue with the ALT key is specific to Windows and PS 19.0 and 19.0.1.  It actually is specific to the order you press the keys in.  If ALT is not first, you should be fine.  Meanwhile, we're actively working on a fix, the specifics of which are in a different thread.

Hope that helps,
David

@7569764, yes you can, but it is a manual backup where you need to go to the folders on your computer and copy paste them to a safe location. 
If you need help with the backup or folders locations, let me know.

@denny, I'm on Windows, maybe that specific Alt issue only happens in Windows. 

Greetings for both of you. 😉

Luckily I did not saved a lot of individual configuration. Yes, now I know it 😉 I haven't the issue with the Alt button on 19.0.0.

You did well in warning other users. I tried to edit the comment by making it clear. 
Always make a backup while rolling back. 

I guess it was the last time you lost your settings, ehehehhe. Hope they launch a new version soon. The 19.0.0 has the annoying bug where Alt doesn't work if pressed first/first time press.

I know, but there are enough people who did not backup these folders and start the rollback - like me, heh 🙂

Not if you backup your folder and then replace the files with the ones you backed up. I did this myself and I have all the settings back (actions, brushes, workspaces, colours, etc)

But be warned: you will loose almost all your settings.
