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).

Amazing how losing such a small feature can be completely debilitating...   We all use that up/down 'nudge' capability - while focusing intently on the space that needs filling 🙂

Hi Denny, we do meet again 😉 Thanks for your response and help. . . . I can't help but be a little wary after all the bug reports. . . Have a great day 🙂

Hi Rosa, here we meet again 😉
Currently I have no other bugs / issues found on version 19.0.1, only this text sizing issue.
So I think, you can unscrupulousy install the version 19.0(.0).
With the "Creative Cloud" app you can manually choose and a another version to install. But carefully: I just found out, that installing a previous version will delete all the settings.

HI Denny, I also use Windows 10. I've not installed the new PS yet, still using 2017. I've been on the road for 5 weeks and have been following all the bug reporting, so arriving back home have not decided to install the new version on my desktop. What I want to know as you're a Windows user as well, do you have other issues with the new version?

I had to uninstall Photoshop using the Creative Cloud panel... then I had to also uninstall it from my windows computer itself as well - then back in the Creative Cloud panel, I think if you either right click to install, or click the arrow to expand the options, it gives you the option to “view other versions” and that’s where I could choose to go back and install the 2017 version (18.??)

I use text quite a lot in photoshop for work and even though it seems such a small bug, it quickly became highly annoying not having the “live preview” of your changes - I have been a graphic designer for quite a few years now but I’m not THAT good to know exactly which point size I would need first time

I'd suggest going back to Photoshop CC 2017 until this gets fixed completely, at least if you use text in Photoshop on a regular basis.

Same here. Wow, that is a really really annoying one. I use Windows 10. So not only Mac users have this issue.

If it possible, please send us the file we need to overwrite as a workaround until you publish the new update?

I'm having the same issue today (17/11/2017) - really hope this can be updated quickly, as it's becoming quite frustrating and time-consuming

Will we be alerted to this patch being fixed?

Currently trying to uninstall and role back to the previous version

Thanks,

No, the live preview does NOT work even if text is uncommitted!

The fix will be in an update to the present photoshop 19.0 or in a new version of photoshop next year?
