Punctuation jumps to beginning of sentence in photoshop 2025. Help?

[ornaw66364148]

I'm adding text to a photoshop project and when I add punctuation such as : it jumps to the beginning of the sentence and adds it there. I have settings of paragraph going from left to right. Please help. The only answers I've found to this question are from 2012!

I found ancient documentation of the problem, too, back to CS6. Settings and preferences have changed.

What do you show for Language in the Ps 2025>Window>Character dialog for language?

Please provide the file (feel free to remove all Layers except the background and the Type Layer). 

Are you using »Latin and East …« or »World-Ready Layout«?

Here is a photo of my settings:

Please provide the file and post screenshots. 

Do not include them in email-replies but post them on the Forum proper.

I’m sorry, I’m not sure what you mean. Can you explain how to post to Forum proper?

On MacOS use Cmd-Shift-3 to capture your screen and save it to a file. Use Cmd-Shift-4 to marquee select a portion of the screen that you want to point to. Mark up those screenshots in Photoshop to draw attention to the issue in question. One way is to select a part of the area using the Marquee Tool and Edit > Stroke to give it a visible color outline.

Next, using the Forum reply toolbar, click on Insert Photos, and upload your screenshots.

Please provide the file already. 

Have you considered trying »Latin and East Asian Layout«?

My bad. This is the area in the forum reply you use to upload the files  c.pfaffenbichler wants.

I hope you aren't impatient with me... I'm doing my best.

Have you tried »Latin and East Asian Layout«? 

[c.pfaffenbichler]

Have you tried »Latin and East Asian Layout«? 

[ornaw66364148]

yes, it doesn't solve if I try »Latin and East Asian Layout«

The file doesn't load below in the drag and drop. It's stuck.

Tryy "browse" instead of "drag and drop"

[ornaw66364148]

Yes, I did. It's the same result.

I notice in your paragraph panel, the middle button is pressed. Try the leftmost button.

You might have to delete and re-enter the text. Also at the bottom use the left button if you have it.

[ornaw66364148]

No, unfortunately, the alignment doesn't make a difference.  I've updated everything and tried on new documents, but nothing seems to solve this annoying problem.

Have a look at the Character Panel settings as well as your Mac Keyboard settings.

You also have Reset Character and Reset Paragraph in that menu.

Maybe try a similar but different font.

Reset the Type Tool in the Options Bar:

Ctrl + Click (or Right-click) on the T for the Reset menu.

If that doesn't help,

Try Resetting Photoshop Prefs on Quit. I personally would suggest to save and name your workspace  so you don't lose it. Every goes to Essentals default.

Can you provide the file with some file-transfer-service (dropbox or some other)? 

[c.pfaffenbichler]

»Latin and East Asian Layout«

[c.pfaffenbichler]

So the solution seems to be the setting I asked about in post 2. 

[ornaw66364148]

Looking at my pulldown paragraph menu it seems I am missing the Latin part? 

[c.pfaffenbichler]

My screenshots should clearly show the Paragraph Panel, not the Properties Panel.

Hallelujah!! Thank you and particularly thank you for not giving up on me!
