In the latest update to Photoshop CC 2018, character leading is broken. I cannot type into the box or manually adjust with the up down keys. This is a bit of a showstopper...

Please, any Rep from Adobe update this topic when it's fixed, I guess we're all subscribed to this topic and waiting for the fix to install again/update broken version.

I appreciate that there is a workaround, but I can't afford to change my workflow every time something breaks.  Because of this leading issue and the default file open issue, I have reverted to the previous version and will not update.

Likewise, just tested and found it working fine with untransformed text.  Like many people I use transform to short-cut layout of text, but at least knowing this I can resize numerically for now.  Thanks for the info.

Since last update, whenever I use the arrow keys or type into the Leading (vertical spacing) field under the Character tab, it gives really weird values, even going into the thousands of pts. This is an obvious bug that should be looked into.

Since the 2018 update, text-leading does not work anymore. Whether I'm trying to increase or decrease the leading by the arrow keys, dropdown or just inputting a number, the leading always resorts back to 9,12px... then to 3,69px... then to 1,71px...and then keeps decreasing in random numbers until it reached 0... pressing ESC will give an error then which means I cannot get out of this situation.

I have to press ESC 12 times before Photoshop 'understands' that I just want to move on with my work.

The workaround is to not use leading anymore and keep making new textfields... this is just stupid.

Can this please be fixed instead of adding bullsh*t-new-features no-one needs?

I have a problem with the latest version of Photoshop on Windows 7 Pro.
I cannot seem to insert a normal amount in the line height field:

Since updating Photoshop CC, when editing text so that the line spacing is set to a custom size rather than select a predefined value i the 'Character' panel, it jumps to a huge number and errors.  I have tried multiple ways to set is manually but the only way I can get it to "work" is from selecting one of the drop down options which doesn't work for me.

Photoshop CC 19.0 on macOS High Sierra 10.13
When trying to adjust the font leading using the mouse scroll, the value jumps to incorrect numbers. It doesn't allow to enter a value using the keyboard either.
