P: Can't Scroll through fonts using arrow keys

Hi @wnwka, sorry to hear scrolling through fonts using the arrow keys isn't working for you. What have you tried so far to fix it? When did it start happening? What Photoshop release are you using and on what OS? If you give us some more info we'll try to help you sort it out.

This seems to be still a problem.... This costs me so much time rn, it's annoying.

Terrific. Glad I could help and happy you are back in business again! Thanks for letting us know.

Hi - aha - yes - that cures it. Now there's no 'recents' at the top of the list, it arrows through from the alphabetical sort location of the original font. Thank you !!

Hi @chrisell99 Thanks for the video! I see what you mean now. In Preferences, under the Type tab, change your Recent Fonts list to zero and try again. Please let us know if that solves it for you.

Sure

In this example I scroll down to the "Harry P" font and close the font chooser. When I use the down arrow I would then expect it to go through the next fonts alphabetically - Heavyweight, then Heineken, etc .  But what happens is the "Harry P" font goes to the very top of the list so when I scroll down, it starts at the top, and then scrolls to the last fonts used - in this case "Noto Color Emoji SVG", then "Segoe UI Emoji", then "5x7 DOT Matrix". When I pop open the font chooser you can see why. This is changed behaviour. Prior to this most recent update, if you arrowed up and down it went from where the font was alphabetically in the list, not from where it ends up after using it (I guess most-recent fonts now appear at the top of the list). 

@chrisell99 Working for me too on macOS 13.x and Windows 11. Can you share a screen recording of what you're seeing?

Hi @chrisell99 I'm not seeing what you are describing. Fonts can now be scrolled through by using a mouse wheel or up/down arrows without having to expand the font menu. It starts or stops on the last font selected for me. Photoshop 24.0.0 Release using Windows 10. Can you show a screenshot or video of what you are experiencing?

It's almost unbelievable that I have to type this, but it's broken again. Photoshop 2023 got installed on my machine overnight and now I can't arrow through the fonts again.

Well - I *can* but it now always starts at the top of the list. This is because once a font is selected, it goes to the top of the list so when you try to arrow through the fonts, you're stuck starting at the top.

Can we please, please, please stop messing up the font tool and just fix this for once and for all?

TY for fixing, Adobe.

I will say however, the new version crashes when using the Text tool. Is this update perhaps related to that?
