Photoshop CC 2018 - line spacing tool failoure

Since the Update of Photoshop CC 2017 to Photoshop CC 2018, the line spacing tool is not working anymore.

When I try to enter a number, it randomly changes it to another one. Also if I try to change the number via draging over the tool-symbol it first works and then jumps to a number over 8000...

How to fix this? Thank you in advance!

    Correct answer davescm

    Hi

    Yes it only affects text that has been transformed. The workaround appears to be type the value into properties and the correct value will appear in the character panel

    I am not sure what they call the properties panel in German but I have circled it in the menu which may help you find it. It is the same panel used for Live Shape properties

      It's been a few weeks with this now and it's getting super annoying. I get completely random numbers

        Hi

        Yes it is annoying , have you tried the workaround posted earlier in this thread ?

        a. Enter the leading value in the Properties panel.

        b. When you hit enter the value in the properties panel box will change to something different (that is a bug) but will now show correctly in the Character panel

        c. The value applied to the text will be the same as you entered and now shown in the character panel

        Note : The workaround does not work backwards - you must enter in the properties box.

          I have a make-shift solution until Adobe patches this issue... to decrease or increase leading 2 points or pixels:

          - Mac:

          Option + Down Arrow or Up Arrow

          - PC

          Alt + Down Arrow or Up Arrow

            The best workaround is to use CC 2017 instead.

              Hello, same issues Here, I'm on PC on win7.

              it happen on document blocks text created before the 2018 version...

              My way to fix it is to copy the "old text" in microsoft-word or other pad-txt, and re-past it in a new bloc text.

              When i create a new text block i don't have this issues and i can set it...

              But it still bored... Hope u will fix very soon guys...

              Thx
              Thomas
