P: PS 27.0 Can't edit text after writing - or + and adding a space behind it.

[CSOCSO-SCW]

I am trying to create something and realized once I start typing something It locks me out of editing the text. 
If I write "-100" without spaces, I can go back and edit the minus to + or just simply delete the -
BUT if I put a space between the - or + and the rest of the text, it will lock the - or + and I can ONLY edit the rest of the text. I can not change the - or +. It just stays there and no way to edit that or delete it.

It can be any text after - or +
it can be letters numbers. don't matter. But it's ok to write another symbol like @ then space and other letters. 

I can type %100. Then put a space: % 100. No issues so far. I can change the % to + like this keeping the space: + 100 and I can still edit the + symbol. as soon as I add an extra space it will again lock the + symbol

@CSOCSO-SCW 

This is the first time I've heard of this issue. I have a few questions so we can better assist.

• How are you typing the + and - ? With the alpha or numeric keyboard? With the Glyphs panel?
• What happens when you type only a + or - ? Can you edit it?
• Can you select it?
• Can you show your Character panel (Window menu) with the symbol selected?
• What happens when you use a different typeface?
• Is this a new issue? Did it work in a previous version of Photoshop?
• Is it all documents or just the one?

@CSOCSO-SCW I can replicate the issue, strange thing is when you hit the backspace the + or - sign actually disappears then when you hit the spacebar the + or - sign reappears

Using the backspace, the + sign disappears

Using the spacebar the + sign reappears

Hey, @CSOCSO-SCW, & @Ged_Traynor. This is happening due to the Automatic detection of bulleted or numbered lists while typing in the Type tool. In this case, the symbols are treated as bullets.

You can go to Edit > Preferences > Type and uncheck 'Automatic detection of bulleted or numbered lists while typing'

Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

@Sameer K yes, it works as expected with that option disabled 👍
