P: Text tool Problem: A bunch of small text is all over my screen

So like usual, I made a text box to start typing but I don't know what happened because now there is the same word in various small fonts all over my work. I have no idea where it came from. If you look at the photo, there is the word "Jin" in white everywhere and I can't seem to remove it.

Just wanted to follow up. We have figured out the issue and we are in the process of figuring out how to fix it. In the meantime, the workarounds are thus: Either open the text frame, which seems to make the fragments disappear, or use a paragraph text frame (tap-drag a text frame, rather than just tap with the text tool.) the problem appears to be specifically related to point text frames. Hope that helps. I'll let you know when a fix is in place.

Hi Benjamin, your work arounds don't work. I did a paragraph text box and when I touch out of it I get the random letters everywhere. Sure, they disappear when I touch back into it, but I can't save it and print it like that so it's useless. It's 2024 and you STILL haven't fixed this yet?

Tap the Home button in the upper left corner. On the file you were just working on, tap the "..." and select View Version History. Choose the version just before the text craziness happens. Then tap the "..." and choose Revert to This Version. After it opens, restart Photoshop.

 

That's the only fix I've found. Hope that helps.

It sucks to lose all my progress to revert to the oldest state of my doc. Having this issue now and losing 40 minutes plus of progress. Not sure it's even worth having ps on my iPad at this rate

Neither of these worked for me. Are you finding these fixes on iPad or a desktop because it seems none of the resolves work for those using iPad
