P: Kerning using ALT + arrows sometimes doesn't work

In Photoshop CS6 on OSX 10.7 and 10.8 (don't know in Windows) kerning using ALT + arrows doesn't work properly.

At first it works, BUT if you change some parameter in the "character panel" and come back to the text, it's no working anymore. You have click again in ANY field in ANY panel (ex. character size), come back to your text field and it is working again.

Kind of annoying when you are in a hurry.

I can make a video or explain it with more details if you cannot reproduce the bug.

I hope you include this in the next upgrade, it is getting me crazy. In japanese you have to correct the kerning all time.

Thanks

    I just figured out what was causing this problem for me. I had my keyboard preference set to "Unicode Hex Input". As soon as I changed the keyboard preference back to "U.S." the kerning shortcut "option + left-arrow" and "option + right-arrow" began to work again. Good luck!

    No news really to report. We're aware of it and plan to fix it in a future release of Photoshop.

    Thanks for the video.
    I'll pass it on to the type engineers to have a look at it.
    I still haven't been able to reproduce on my end using the same OS and PS version.

    Will see what we can find out.

    Have you tried resetting your preferences yet? That could be causing the odd behavior.

    Try restoring your prefs: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/usin...

    Does that change the behavior? or Make it less/more consistent?
