Hey Everyone,

Im creating a design for website in Adobe Photoshop CC 20.0.1

But i have a problem. Everytime i try to select a text layer with my text tool the text changes to random text.

It doesnt matter which text layer I select it changes to a random text from the document.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I'm having this problem as well. It copies the font settings like size and line-spacing.

Try this to reproduce:

- make an area text and write some stuff to it.
- select part of the text make some changes like font size

- select a different part of the text and whatever change you made will automatically be applied to the new selection.

I'm having the same issue. I double clock the font to edit the words and it automatically italicizes it and the properties menu pops open. So I have to make multiple changes just to edit one letter.

Hi

Is this option enabled in preferences by any chance, if so disable it

Yeah I tried that, but it doesnt place placeholder text, but it automatically copies text from another textarea and pastes it in the one I select.

Try resetting the Type Tool

If that doesn't help try resetting the preferences
