Double accents when typing accented letters

[ellynacci]

Hello! I'm a brazilian designer and I need to write words with accents on Photoshop:

• água
• óleo
• sabão

However, when I try to type these characters, the output is:

• ´´agua
• ´´oleo
• sab~~ao

My keyboard layout is ABNT2 (or PTB2), and I've managed to fix the issue by changing to another compatible keyboard (ABNT or PTB) while Photoshop is still open. If I close the software and open it again, the same problem will persist until I change my keyboard layout again. It does not matter the layout I'm using in the moment, I need to change it once every time I start Photoshop.

I can type accented words normally on any other Adobe software and everywhere in my Windows system. The only place this problem happens is in Photoshop.

I've tried reinstalling Photoshop and cleaning user preferences multiple times, without success. The error also only happens in my user apparently, because my typing experience went normally on other users on my device.

I'm starting to go nuts, so any help is much appreciated. I really don't want to migrate to another user to fix this issue. Thank you!

System information:

• Windows 11 Home Single Language version 22H2
• 16GB of RAM
• Intel i5-9400F (2.90GHz)

Photoshop versions I've tested, all with the same bug:

• Photoshop Beta 25.1
• Photoshop 24.7
• Photoshop 22.2

Note: This problem started out of nowhere. I've used Photoshop normally for years on the very same PC. One day it simply started behaving like this, probably after switching to beta. I don't remember have recently installed other programs when the issue began.
