My Photoshop CC 2017.0.1 is working perfect, except for this Type Tool. When I place a large text the Type Tool/Character window becomes very slow and completely unusable. Text is hardly selectable and character settings hardly changeable. I've spend the hole day trying to fix this problem and tried everything I could find on the internet. Uninstalled all fonts, deleted and reinstalled latest videodrivers, deleted all Photoshop preferences, all kind of performance settings and tweaks, new Windows user account, killed almost every process that was running on my pc, completely deleted Photoshop and reinstalled it, different cleanups and Windows tweaks. I've really tried everything, but nothing helpt, not even a little bit ... except for one thing! And that one thing fixed it completely ... I've deleted PS 2017.0.1 and downgraded to 2015.5 and everything works fine now. I can't believe this big bug, where a lot of people suffer from, isn't killed yet. Please fix this, I can't do my job like this and I don't want to pay for an old version. Just for some extra information; I've got a great pc and work on very large files without a problem so it's not a hardware issue. I've noticed that the problem mostly occur when using TrueType fonts. And I've also noticed that when I'm clicking with the Type Tool on a text area to activate it, Photoshop is continuously using a lot CPU, even when I'm doing nothing at all. I hope the fix will be released soon.

... awesome

Hello Adobe,

where is update which will fix that issue? 2017 and CC 2017 is still unusable...

Adobe please provide a solution to this slow type tool problem ASAP!!! its debilitating not being able to use the type tool in Photoshop, I have also tried every troubleshooting option above, nothing works. I'm a graphic designer and I need to be able to use my type tool. PLEASE HELP!

STAFF,

any update here? Type Tool is still unusable...

I installed Mac Os Sierra on VMWare , and then installed Photoshop CC 2017.0.1. And? Type tool is slow on TTF too. OTF works great...

So i think this is now Windows issue only.

I described Type Tool problem issue here, recorded video too:

Re: Photoshop CC 2017 Unusable slow

Type Tool is slow only when using TTF fonts. OTF working fine.

Interesting thing is that in Illustrator 2017 Type Tool is working very fast and smooth on OTF/TTF.

But there is another issue... I can open only 1 file in AI. To open second one I must close AI, then open next file...

There is no fix at the moment. Maybe we can better switch to Sketch. Adobe is getting worse and worse every update... Waste of money. Other big buggs in previous versions they also did not fix.

I didnt want to switch to Sketch but this type tool issue is so retarded. Buying Sketch tonight.
