Photoshop CS6 rotates text 90 degrees to the right istead of aligning characters vertically?

[ismaelgokufox]

I'm having this issue.

Type some text and try to change orientation to vertical and the program rotates 90 degrees to the right instead of aligning text.

I did a reset of Photoshop settings file (CTRL + SHIFT + ALT on Photoshop boot) and no change of issue.

Video of issue included.

Windows XP SP3

Photoshop CS6 Extended

Thanks for any help you community might give me.

When I do just what you did, I get the expected result:

Did you try resetting things?

As Noel points out Reset Character should clear things up, but the reason is you probably don't have

Standard Vertical Roman Alignment checked.

Did what Noel and you gave me.

Good ones, but didn't change the program behavior issue.

Do you have the Text Engine Options set to Middle Eastern under Edit>Preferences>Type?

If you do try changing to East Asian and restart photoshop.

You guys are awesome!! Had the same problem for whatever reason (probably changed the settings myself ages ago and forgot) and now I was frustrated for hours trying to make the verticlal tool work correctly Googled a lot and this board, as always, came to the rescue!

Respect!

Does anyone else have a different fix for this? I have the same exact problem except none of these solutions are working for me. I'm really, extremely frustrated and upset. Thanks.

What version of photoshop and operating system are you using?

Cs6 , sorry ! Thanks for responding ! I dont know what's going on but it only writes vertically in new projects , not the one I need it to ! Any idea why ? I've switched the settings as directed above ... maybe I just need to redo it    Really confused.

Do you have the Type Tool set to Vertical?
