Using your mouse to scrub text size, leading, kerning, tracking values jumps too far

When you use your mouse to 'scrub' the text size/leading/tracking/kerning values up/down it is jumping about 40-50 pt at a time - it used to only jump a few pt at a time, so now it's not really usable - you have to manually type changes into the size/leading/tracking/kerning fields

Is there a fix for this, or a setting I'm unaware of?

This is in Photoshop 26.5.0 and I've only noticed it recently, so assume it's this (or closely previous) version

@Eugene Reisch just tested on my system with Photoshop version 26.6 on Windows 10 and not seeing the issue you described, have you tried manually resetting your Photoshop preferences

Remember to back up your settings before doing the preference reset

I think you are using Windows Ged?

@Eugene Reisch is this a trackpad, Magic Mouse, or what?

Any chance there's been a relevant driver update?

Would it be worth installing 22.2 to test and compare? You can go back further than that using the ProDesignTools direct install file downloads.

Hi Trevor, yes I'm on Windows and ProDesignTools download links no longer work, they haven't worked for over a year now

Just to follow up, I've updated to 26.6 and the same issue persists
