Hi!

 

I am using adobe photoshop in windows 11, and when I switch the input method to simplified chinese, the "alt" key shortcut will cause several issues. When I tried to use alt + left key to duplicate a layer, the photoshop freeze, and I cannot save the file or cancel the movement. However, it works well when I switch the input method to English.

 

This bug seems to be appeared recently.

 

Let me know what's the best way to solve this issue.

 

Thanks

I have to thank you!
I couldn't for the life of me figure out why Photoshop stopped working suddenly. Turns out you're right, I had Japanese IME and it was causing the issues when input was not on English.

By the way, the input method I am using is the default Microsoft Chinese Pinyin
