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

This is a terrible "trade-off" and causing more of a disruption to my productivity than the leading issue. The work around for leading was to type values into the properties fields and tab to accept the value. So to solve that, you made it so essentially we have to manually set values and tab for all character properties instead of just leading? How does that make sense?

Since the last PS update, when adjusting the leading of text, there is no live preview of the adjustments.
So you have to enter each time you want to see the adjustment you made.

After updating my Photoshop from 2017.1.2 to new Photoshop 19 my Text scubby sliders no longer give live updates to image.. I must release the mouse to see the font size changes. I uninstalled PS 19 and reinstalled 2017.1.2 and everything works..in old version..

Hi David, thank you for your reply. You've said that there is a work around regarding the preview. but having part of the text or all of it selected means it's  in modal state. This is the actual worflow for everybody and this is exactely what doesn't work anymore. Not sure to understand the work around here.

Can you explain this? Not sure what you mean by modal state. I am seeing no preview whether text is highlighted which is how I normally use it) or if just the layer is selected.

Oh, and a work-around for now is that you do get the previews if you're in a modal state (the text is uncommitted).

Hope that helps,
David

There was previously an issue with the scroll and typing into the leading box for Character options. Looks like that was updated and the scroll works, but it is no longer real-time as you scroll for ANY of the options now. You have to scroll and apply it before seeing the outcome. Please update this asap!!! My workflow is being extremely hindered by this.

Howdy Jesse and everyone,

Yes, in order to get the fix out for leading with transformed type as soon as possible, we had to trade-off live updates to bumping (arrow keys) and scrubbing (mousing the control).  We are working on fixes to return the earlier behavior and they should ship with the next release to go out.  Our concern was including these fixes in a dot-release as they were untested and we wanted to get our customers the leading fix ASAP without breaking anything else.

I hope that makes sense.

Sorry for the annoyance,
David

Sorry for the frustration. Thanks for the feedback - I'll submit this to our engineers to look into it.

Same problem here. Annoying as hell!
