Photoshop 21.1.1 Text Font Lag Performance Issue

Hello Adobe,

 

I just upgraded to the latest version of photoshop - 21.1.1, and now I am running into a very annoying bug which makes working with text difficult.

 

When I press backspace to remove what I just typed, photoshop lags and sometimes respects the backspace command.  At the moment I have to press backspace about a 100 times to remove one line of text from whatever I'm typing.

 

It doesn't matter which font I'm using.  Arial performs the same as all the other fonts do.

 

I unchecked all the type preferences and noticed that nothing is different.

 

So... how can I type?

I'm running the latest version of Windows 10

 

 

Thanks, have a nice day,

 

-  Tyler

Update:  It appears to be an issue with the GPU:

 

This was never before an issue with Photoshop, but if I turn the gpu performance to "Basic" that seems to fix it.  For the record, I am using a Nvidia GTX 1080

And this sometimes happens when I'm typing as well.  It gets laggy and sometimes doesn't respect a letter of whatever I'm trying to type.

Hello, I would first try to reset the text tool by doing a right click on its icon in the Option bar.

 Right-click the tool icon in option bar to reset.Right-click the tool icon in option bar to reset.

There is also a reset in the Character panel top right menu

This worked for the 2023 version! Select Type tool from left column, then right-click the T with the dropdown arrow beside it, at the top left of the workspace. Clicking Reset Tool caused the lag to stop.

I am experiencing the exact same problem!!! It is incredibly annoying and has not been fixed with the newest updates. Have you been able to work around it? I hate having to type in another program now.

 

I question my Photoshop subscription more often now, why are we paying so much money for so many bugs? I'm fed up at this point.

This is a HUGE problem persistent in my setup as well. Photoshop 20 was O.K., but the text transform performance in 21 and 22 is outright broken, laggy and furry inducing to work with.

 

P.S. I'm using the studio driver. RTX3090 FE and Ryzen 5950X.

Same here, I'm running a high end Ryzen 5950X with RTX 3080 and all other apps run butter smooth but Photoshop text tool can sometimes lag for 5 seconds before doing anything.

 

Let's see if Adobe fixes this in the year 2030 version.

Same problem here.

RTX 3080, Ryzen 9, 64g ram, it definitely comes from the software.

 

Since the 2022 update I also had big lags whilst moving in the pictures/zooming in and out.

Today is february 10th, 2023, and I have a similar problem.
I use a lot of programs simultaneously (illustrator, photoshop mostly, after effects sometimes) and i need to keep many google chrome tabs open. When I turn on my pc, everything works fine. But as the day goes on, I get some annoying lag on Photoshop.
This lags works like this: whenever I have to create a new text box, the "T" shortcut activates the tool and then it simply turns off, by itself. I am obligated  to get the mouse all the way, click on the text tool at the tool painel. And it happens everyday.
I have a AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics, 64,0GB RAM, GeForce RTX 3060, Windows 11 Pro. All my drivers are updated (windows, adobe and GeForce) and I have no clue why this happens. 
I ran some tests to check if it was a RAM problem, but no, nothing there.

  Yesterday a friend gave me an idea. He said "maybe you have too many fonts installed on your system". I checked and I had more than 5k fonts on my windows. I uninstalled all of them, leaving system fonts only (126 i guess). Restarted the pc and started working. Well, the problem is still there.. 😞   help me Adobe!
