Question

In the text tool, whenever I type - between numbers, like in a phone number, it swaps the numbers around. For example, 123-456-7890 becomes 7890-456-123.

This happens even when I copy and paste the number in with the dashes, or type the whole number first, then add the dashes after.

    Hey, @Azzarinne. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll need more info to help you figure this out. 

    Please share more details, including the version of Photoshop and the Windows operating system, along with screenshots and video recordings of what you see.


    At this point, try disabling the following option in the Type settings:

     

    Uncheck ‘Automatic Detection of bulleted and numbered lists while typing’ and restart Photoshop.

     

    Thanks!
