When I'm typing a line of text, if I have punctuation at the end of the line it moves it to the beginning of the line. I'm using CS6.

Hi there, 

 

I just downloaded the latest version of Adobe Photoshop CC and am having this same issue with the punctuation appearing at the beginning of words instead of at the end. I've tried to change all the Type preferences and nothing seems to be working 😞 Does anyone have any insight into what else I might be able to try? 

 

Thank you!

You could try to actually describe the specifics and post meaningful screenshots including the pertinent Panels and dialogs.

Wow, you just come across as extremely smug in your messages.  You seem like you need a hug or maybe a hobby outside of trying to feel superior over people looking for help online.

I had this same problem. What worked was to change it to the type tool. For some reason, Illustrator automatically sets it to the right-to-left type tool. The shortcut is also linked to the right-to-left type tool as you can see in the photo. Make sure that when you type, it is set to the type tool, not the right-to-left tool. You also might want to set the shortcut to the type tool if you use shortcuts. Hope this helps!

I tried to but somehow this result wasn't showing up for me--I don't know why. That fixed it, thanks!

It didn't work for me right away as well, but it worked once I changed it not through Preferences, but through Paragraph window

 

Make sure it is a window, not a widget in the panel / Go into the top corner meny (three lines icon) / Choose Single-line Composer.

 

Hope this helps!
