Keep encountering an issue where when I use a hyphen and numbers the typing area jumps around.

Thank you for the video, that helps!

What appears to be happening is that the date format is changing from U.S. English to European English. In Europe, 12/6 is June 12 (or 12 June) whereas in the U.S. 12/6 is December 6.

Can you look at this Apple help page, then tell us what your settings are for Language and Date format?

I don’t know for sure that this is the issue, but it’s worth checking it.

Hello! Thank you all for your help but unfortunately this issue is still happening. Even when I copy and paste it reformats the text in the incorrect manner. I reset all of my Photoshop settings back to default and unchecked the Automatic detection of bullets and numbering. Here is another video. https://streamable.com/9a2wu9
 

Very strange issue!

Thanks for actively sharing the details. Just as a quick note, could you try disabling the following option in the Type settings:

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

Thanks!

​@doganxiety9 Perfect! Thank you for all the information. Let’s try a few things to troubleshoot. Try these suggestions in order:

1. Double-check your settings under the type menu. Type > Language Options > Default Features is enabled.
2. Also, check that your paragraph is set Left to Right.
3. Try the type tool in a new document and see if you’re still experiencing this behavior.
4. Disable plugins: Hold down the Shift key and click to open the application. When the dialog box appears saying "Skip loading optional and third-party plug-ins?", click Yes. 

5. Try manually resetting your Photoshop preferences: https://helpx.adobe.com/ie/photoshop/using/preferences.html#Manuall. Remember to back up your settings before doing the preference reset: https://helpx.adobe.com/ie/photoshop/using/preset-migration.html

If you continue to experience this issue, I can send it to our product team to take a look and try to replicate it. Let me know how it goes! ^CH

Hi ​@doganxiety9, thanks for reaching out! This can sometimes be caused by a glitch with the Type tool. Let's try resetting it first:

1. Select the Type Tool (T)

2. In the top Options bar, click the gear/menu icon

3. Choose Reset Tool (or Reset All Tools)

Then test typing again. If it still happens, we can continue to troubleshoot the issue. I hope this helps! ^CH
