P: Can't Scroll through fonts using arrow keys

[Bashayer]

when trying to preview different fonts in Photoshop i am unable to scroll through them using the arrow keys, it just doesnt move

The font do not appear and do not change in the menu when i click scroll down nothing happens

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).

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.

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 !!

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

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

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.
