So frustrating... when I copy and paste text from one text pane to another the font size doubles. Any fixes out there?

 

Using Photoshop CC2019

That's odd that the text box wasn't transformed. Does this always happen? If not, does it happen right after you create the master text layer then paste into another text layer? Have you tried resetting your preferences?

Hi There,

That does not sound like a typical experience, let's make it right.

Could you please let us know the exact version of Photoshop you're using? By going to Help > System Info

Also, please share a screenshot of before and after the text size increase.

What's the width and height of both documents?

Regards,
Sahil

Are you pasting from, or into, a text box that has been resized with Edit > Transform ? That applies additional scaling.

Are you pasting into the same file or a different one? If a different one is the PPI the same?

Same file / same PPI

 

The strange part is that it doesn't happen everytime! Same exact action.
