Text Size Keyboard Increments are Different in PS Beta vs. Full Version Mac

So, here's what I have been used to forever in the regular Photoshop for the Mac (NON-BETA VERSION):

1.) Create some text

2.) Select that text and hit COMMAND + SHIFT + < (or) > to decrease the text size in 1 point increments

 

Now, in the Beta version, that same keyboard command makes the text jump about 50 points instead of 1 point increments. Did I change something somewhere? It's pretty useless when you are working with text in the beta version if this is the new normal.

Resetting Preferences might work, but before you try that, see if resetting the font cache works.

You posted to the Photoshop forum, but your issue is with the Photoshop Beta version, so I'll move your post there to the Bugs section where Adobe Staff will see it.

I just tried that, no change. I have text on screen right now that is 67 points. When I do the keyboard shortcut, it jumps to 126 points. If I go downward, it goes down to 8 points. This is all with only ONE tap of the keys. It is supposed to go up or down 1 point like the regular photoshop. I even just updated Beta, no change.

Hi

 

Try Reset Character from the Character panel menu and tell us if that helps.

 

 

 

 

I hunted in preferences several times for the place to change increments, but could not find it in Photoshop.

 

 

In Illustrator, it's in Preferences > General and in the Properties panel.

 

In InDesign, it's in Preferences > Units and Increments
