'Esc to cancel/commit text' alert keeps reappearing

I've only recently upgraded to CC and am finding using the Esc key to cancel text somewhat annoying.

On the first time I hit escape while editing text it gave me a choice to set esc as cancel or commit changes - being used to CS6 I want cancel. This seems to work fine, but it doesn't seem to remember what I chose between sessions, and sometimes will pop up multiple times per session.

Is there anything I can do to stop it popping up this alert?

Thanks

    Go to the photoshop preferences under Type, uncheck Use ESC key to commit text and restart photoshop.

    Hi Jeff.

    That option is already unchecked in preferences. It's not that pressing escape is not doing what I want, it's that Photoshop keeps asking me over and over for my choice, interrupting my workflow with unnecessary alert messages
