Question

Moving a font character will duplicate it...I have just had an automatic update in PS CC.

Here is my problem:

New document: Fine

T (to add font/text):  Fine

When I drag the text letter it then DUPLICATES!

Has anyone else had this annoying scenario?

It seems this is a re-occurring problem because it was corrected but then came back...!

 

I'd be interested if this has happened to anyone else in the graphic world?

 

Stay Safe...Phil

    My problem has re-occurred!
     
    Please see attached .jpg (below)
    Do you suggest UN-TICKING THIS OPTION?
     
    It seems that any additional layer (font character/shape..etc.) duplicates!
    the only way to remove the duplicated item is to click the "eye" next to the layer that was below the offending item...
     
    Please advise...

    Try it 😉

     

    I unchecked it and it solved my problems.

    Thank you all for taking the time to suggest a solution...

    ...I appreciate the feedback.

    It seems that un-ticking the LEGACY BOX resolves the problem!

     

    Happy Photoshopping!    PHIL

      Try disabling legacy option under performance in preferences, see other similar duplication problems.

      Thank you for your suggestion...

      I have just opened the editing suite CC and it seems that the TEXT option
      is now working correctly.
      I don't often get gremlins, but the biggest headache was when a tech guy
      attempted to resolve the problem at 3am last night, and completely changed
      my workspace!
      It took me some time to re-edit it back its original layout...

      Hi, Mac? Pc? Ps 21.2?

      did you reset the text tool with a right click on its icon in the Option Bar?
