Had new IMAC 2 weeks. In Photoshop in last few days I added a text layer and mystery text appeared. Now it is appearing on image layers as half a 'Ha'. Notice in screenshot those mystery Ha are appearing in the black layer preview on the right. Weird! Is this a known issue?

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Graphic Processor Settings) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

If I create a new file, and fill a layer with a colour those mystery Ha letters are automatically added. I can't imagine its worth doing any work on photshop at the moment.

Hi @Wickerman1138! Are you experiencing this issue with every new document? If possible, could you share a short recording showing the problem? Additionally, could you attach your System Info? You can find it under Help > System Info. Just copy the info to a text file and include it with your response. Thanks!

Best, Alek
