When I use the scrub method of adjusting on my leading, PS(win) unexpectedly jumps the number way up, even if I'm scrubbing left, even if i'm holding the alt key.

Okay, I can finally post this:
We have made many fixes to the behavior of transformed text and they are now available in the latest release, Photoshop 14.1, which you can download RIGHT NOW. I will acknowledge, there are still a few lingering issues to resolve, but for most users, these fixes should handle their problems. We felt it was better to get a partial fix out now than a perfect fix in the future. We are still planning additional improvements for a coming release.
Check out the end of the thread for some solutions.
Also, a work-around is to simply not transform type but instead change the point size. Or, if that is too inimical to your workflow, go ahead and make the transformations that you want, note the new point size of the font, and Undo. Afterwards, you can simply change the point size of the font WITHOUT a transformation and the bug will not be triggered.
I've just started using Photoshop CC today and have a bee in my bonnet!
In Photoshop CS5 a really quick and user friendly shortcut was option-dragging the icon beside a value in a palette (such as the character pallette), and this would increase or decrease the value as you dragged the mouse. (i.e if you had written some text on the canvas you could increase/decrease font size on the fly by option dragging the 'T' font size icon within the character pallette).
In Photoshop CC on my machine this action now behaves extremely erratically and is no longer is useful because of this! Is this happening for everyone or just me? I'm on a mac OS 10.8.4.
Image below highlights where you can option-dragging to increase/decrease values.
Hi Chris,
Having issues with Photoshop CC ( i have the latest update ). Mac OSX 10.9.2
The paragraph leading is behaving incorrectly.
For a 6pt text, with a leading set to 6pt, it displays a leading closer to 14pt? Other character sizes with other character leading not displaying correctly.
I'm not seeing this on Mac. Are you sure you have the latest update? Have you transformed this type at some point?
If you would like, we can do a web-hosted screenshare to get to the bottom of your issue, but at this time, I am unable to duplicate what you're seeing.
Hello David , I just updated my photoshop to the newest one released this week, CC 2018 version and this bug appeared to me. Doesn`t matter the value that I try to type on the keyboard, the paragraph leading just start jumping to high random values, ignoring the numbers that I`m typing. Arrow keys also aren`t working either to setup the value.
update: it seems this bug happens with asian writting, as when I write in Japanese. In normal alphabet,this bug doesn`t happens. May be some conflict with Google IME or MS IME?
Yeah, this stupid bug came back. Someone changed something right before ship and retriggered it. We're working on a solution and know the problem -- the text was transformed at some point and the math involved to display the values correctly is colliding with user input.
If you create new type or work with type that was never transformed, you won't have the problem.
I'm an in-house designer in a very fast paced company. I need to change the leading every 2 seconds and I have to go through a ridiculous to try and adjust the leading between two lines now. Please fix this bug SOON (my livelihood depends on it!)
We are actively working on a fix and understand this bug is a problem for many people's workflows. As a TEMPORARY workaround, you can either work with the previous version or untransformed type, since this bug is isolated to transformed text and is new to 2018. I know, not ideal, but it should work as a stop-gap.
