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).

Hey all, revert to 19.0.0. The bugs there are less annoying than this one.

Howdy Leah,

When a user-reported bug is fixed, we do try to put out a message on any thread that mentions the bug.  So when the patch comes out, everyone who is following this thread should get a message.

Thanks and sorry for the hassle,
David

Hi Melquam and JEA,

Due to the failure of a(n unrelated) widget control, Leading was effectively broken for many users.  Not all had the same experience, but many found it totally debilitating.  We wanted to get a fix out ASAP but recognized that the consequence would be to disable live updates for scrubbing and bumping, due to the limited time.  But once the control is confirmed, the layer(s) will update.  Limited live-updates certainly seems like a much better result than Leading going crazy or failing completely.

We're actively working on a complete fix and I can say that I was actually testing this today.  I cannot tell you when this fix will ship, but I can say that I see no reason for the next dot release NOT to include this fix.  That's as direct and transparent as we can legally be.

We're sorry that this impacted your workflow -- the goal was to make this better for the majority of users as quickly as possible.

Thanks,
David

Well, I always keep a local save of my Adobe Settings folder. This way I can overwrite everything when a new version comes out or when I want to revert to a previous version due to bugs, like this one.

But yeah, not being saved to the cloud is non-sense.

Same here. Of course all my settings defaulted when I reverted to older version. This sucks so much right now. Why the settings aren't saved in cloud ??? All star marked fonts, everything. Really time consuming and frustrating! Why Adobe why?

Will use Photoshop CC 2017 instead. This is just driving me crazy.
