Photoshop CC 2018 - line spacing tool failoure

[web@b4bmedia.net]

Since the Update of Photoshop CC 2017 to Photoshop CC 2018, the line spacing tool is not working anymore.

When I try to enter a number, it randomly changes it to another one. Also if I try to change the number via draging over the tool-symbol it first works and then jumps to a number over 8000...

How to fix this? Thank you in advance!

The best workaround is to use CC 2017 instead.

Hi, Same problem here with the text tool panel, very annoying and im paying for the whole suite every month....

[kariejamison004]

I have a make-shift solution until Adobe patches this issue... to decrease or increase leading 2 points or pixels:

- Mac:

Option + Down Arrow or Up Arrow

- PC

Alt + Down Arrow or Up Arrow

same issue!!! WTF Adobe

Start testing BEFORE you release!

It's been a few weeks with this now and it's getting super annoying. I get completely random numbers

Hi

Yes it is annoying , have you tried the workaround posted earlier in this thread ?

a. Enter the leading value in the Properties panel.

b. When you hit enter the value in the properties panel box will change to something different (that is a bug) but will now show correctly in the Character panel

c. The value applied to the text will be the same as you entered and now shown in the character panel

Note : The workaround does not work backwards - you must enter in the properties box.

Come on Adobe - you're better than this....

Adding another "ME TOO". Just updated to 19.0 today and the problem appeared.

I have the same issue with leading behavior. When I want to increase a number go from 10pt to 14457,89 pt.
Pls Adobe fix this awful bug ASAP, the monthly subscription is not that cheap! :((((

Having the same issue. Its a rather interesting one and cumbersome to correct. since I made 16 artboards from the very first "transformed" text frame - now have to go in manually and adjust. Not ideal. and also this might explain why my styles werent applying properly. I think there needs to be a Redefine Scaling 100% - similar to the InDesign one where it sometimes will missinterpret the formatting but can be restored to 100%. or something.

same thing here, the update really sucks

[kunalex]

Best fix?

Open Adobe Creative Cloud/ Apps / Right to Open is a down facing arrow - click it / Other Versions / Install CC 2015 / grab coffee mug, wait for update.

Good luck.

[lucasselbach]

I can't believe it.

20 days without Adobe's correction.

Waiting until tomorrow and then going to downgrade....

Thanks for the hint

Same problem here.

The leading setting is bugged in both the Character panel and Properties panel.

[lucasselbach]

Same problem here in Brazilian version 19.0

Can't do it in Character window nor in the Properties window (same bug)

Can Adobe work in this fix? SOON?

Thanks

I posted this earlier in the thread but as we are now on page three, and for the benefit of anyone joining now :

Adobe have picked this up, in the meantime there is a workaround :

a. Enter the leading value in the Properties panel.

b. When you hit enter the value in the properties panel box will change to something different (that is a bug) but will now show correctly in the Character panel

c. The value applied to the text will be the same as you entered and now shown in the character panel

Note : The workaround does not work backwards - you must enter in the properties box.

WTF Adobe!!! More than 2 weeks and you still didn't fix this issue. I'm working in software dev too and we fix such bugs in hours, not weeks. I'm going to cancel my subscription, this is nuts!

[davescm]

On this forum we are volunteer Photoshop users - not Adobe (unless you see the red staff badge).

Dave

[lucasselbach]

Right, Dave.

Any way for having an answer from some Adobe Specialist / Employee / Staff / Team / Developer / worker????

That would be awesome (otherwise should fill a bug report)

cheers!

Lucas

[davescm]

Hi

Bug reports have already been filed and fix is being worked on. Adobe tend not to release fix dates in advance.

Dave

[Katherineglarson]

If you cancel your subscription, where are you going to go for software? Crayons? Adobe knows they have us by the *ahem* balls and there's nothing we can do about it. Wish there were still some competent competitors to keep Adobe on their toes.

The text tool is very unstable. Beside this line spacing bug, i often have a total freeze of Photoshop when i do cmd+S and enter a text area without to wait the end of the saving... can't escape anymore from the text area and have to restart Photoshop (mac os 10.13 on macbook pro Touchbar). Im hating Photoshop...

This happens a lot to me too, as well!
