punctuation marks such as the ellipsis (…) and em dash (— / ―) become overly slanted and appear visually broken or disconnected

Hello, I use Photoshop for professional editorial work, and Faux Italic is required in my workflow. The problem occurs specifically when I work with vertical text. In Photoshop 2025 and later, if Faux Italic is applied in vertical text layout, punctuation such as the ellipsis (…) and em dash (— / ―) becomes excessively slanted and looks broken or disconnected. Earlier versions handled this much better. Could you please let me know whether there is an official fix or workaround for this issue?

This is version 22 on the left and version 26 on the right, which is the lowest version currently supported.
