P: (Win/MacOS) Photoshop 27.5 & later: Transform tool bounding box off center on warped text

The bounding box of the transform tool is in the wrong location and not properly scaled when used on warped text. It does snap back to correct scale and location when a corner of it is selected but reverts once the transform is deselected again.

Photoshop version is 27.5

Off center and wrong scale bounding box on warped text

OK on version 27.10.0 and it does seem to have fixed the issue.

Thanks for the comment. Could you include a few more details and a video of this behavior? Do you see this in Photoshop 27.10, or Photoshop (beta) v27.11?

Thanks!

Same problem here on an Apple M5 Pro Max

Photoshop 27.8.0
macOS Tahoe 26.5.1
MacBook Pro M5 Max
Happens with Arial or any other font
Happens in a new document or existing documents
GPU on/off makes no difference
Convert to Shape fixes it
Rasterize Type fixes it

Come on Adobe, fix this already! 😤

Same issue. When using the move tool on a text layer that has had warp applied to it, the bounding box shrinks to the left hand corner of the text layer. This makes moving, aligning, and scaling text layers with warp applied unpredictable and nearly impossible.

This behavior seems limited to text layers. Converting the text layer to a shape (or a smart object) AND then applying warp doesn’t disturb the bounding box. This appears to be the only work around and limits your ability to scale up a converted text layer (smart object) or easily edit a text layer (shape conversion) after the fact.

Does this make sense to you?

@Sameer K think we can expect any fixes in the software soon?

@Sameer K I’m having the exact same issue. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop, using Photoshop Beta, resetting preferences, etc. Nothing works. Very frustrating.

Hey, @DanielKay2012. We’ve been unable to recreate this, and I’ve previously requested you to share a video of this behavior without using keyboard shortcuts, and also check if the issue exists in Photoshop (beta).

Thanks!

I’ve gone back to the beginning after seeing @SpoilThemCreatively ‘s ‘Me too’ post. Right up front I nearly always use the beta version, so I’ve now tested it with the release version, albeit an update to V27.6 I’m seeing an issue using Free Transform on this text layer, which thinks it is bigger than it is. I tried adding a layer style to see if there was errant content, but it was only revealed on the type that we can see. I’ve also reset the Type tool, which made no difference.

Resetting Preferences fixed it. I take it that you have both tried resetting Preferences?

I’ve tried really hard to find a workflow that leads to what you are seeing, but it is not happening for me. So we might need to attract on of the Adobe employees who manage this forum. @CShubert @Pete.Green ?

Hey, @Trevor.Dennis. I also tested and responded a few days ago asking for a video showing the workflow where only menu items are used instead of shortcuts to see if I can reproduce this.

Feel free to tag myself, or Anshul for repro instances.

Thanks!

Thanks for the screen shots. That’s really helpful. Can you clarify what you meant by ‘Selecting the corner’? If I FT a Type layer, and make a selection of part of that Type layer

...and then right click and choose Transform Selection

Then the Transform bounding box would reflect the selection. Is that what happened with you? If so, then that’s expected behaviour.

If not, then can you describe your steps in detail?

With “selecting the corner” I mean when the text layer is selected then clicking one of the corners (the squares) of the transform tool rectangle overlaying the layer.

Is this happening every time you use FT Warp?

Does it only happen with Type layers?

Does it happen if you make the layer a Smart Object?

Have you tried resetting Preferences?

I have tried to duplicate what you are seeing but have not been able to, and I have not seen anyone else talk about similar behaviour. Perhaps a video might help?
