P: Text tool Problem: A bunch of small text is all over my screen

The "ghost" text is actually the last line of text I had on the document, on the same text layer. I 86'd that last line and the ghost text remained. I re-typed in. The ghost test remained. So ultimately, I just deleted the text, shifted that text layer down a few levels which covered up the ghost text and adjusted the sizes of the other layers to cover up the remaining floating text. 

Benjamin, thank you for the response. I'm trying to build this out for work so when this happens every couple of days, it's infuriating. Something's when I reposition the text layer, it hides it, but it still remains. Here's the photo. 

Hi J Lo 06 - can you share the document? I'd like to examine it and see what is going on.

I am having the same problem with Photoshop on my iPad Pro. Unfortunately, turning the visibilty on and off doesn't work. Moving the text layer above or below background layers doesnt help. Exiting out of the program and loading it agagin doen't help. Hitting the undo button doesn't help. Needing a viable solution here. Trying to find a workout for this floating/multiplying ghost text driving me mad. 

Have you tried turning off the visibility of the three text layers a the top of the layer stack?

It almost looks like a watermark, except it is in front of everything, so must be in one of the top three layers.

I'm experiencing a strange bug after updating to 21.2

1) I create a new canvas

2) I select the type tool and type some text.

3) When i drag / resample etc the text on the same canvas, it creates a duplicate ghost appearance of that text, on the screen.

4) Even when I hide the visibility of the text layer, the ghost/duplicate text still appears on the screen.

There doesnt appear to be any compatiability warnings etc with the PC or outdated display drivers.

Any ideas? Thanks!

I recently had this bug appear in a Photoshop.  A portion of one of my text entries created a repeating pattern of one and a half of the letters, and started appearing on multiple layers.  Even appearing on new text created.  It has now spread to a seperate Photoshop file, even though I never dragged anything from the corrupted file to the new file.  Here's an image of the issue.

It's currently appearing on a Smart Layer, though it isn't present inside the Smart Layer itself.

Has anyone seen this issue before and figured out how to address it?  I can't find anyone else describing this issue in other posts.
