Text appearing all over document when using text.

[tav_2933]

Hi there! I am working on my document, and a word "analecta" keeps appearing all over the document when I am finished with the text. Yet it does not allow me to select it. And the bug is not specific to just that layer.

I am on Photoshop 2024, and on Windows 11. To reproduce, just type out something, and press the checkmark at the top of the screen. The expected result was simply the expected text to appear, the actual result was repeating text all over the screen of a completely different word used elsewhere in my document.

Adobe Photoshop Version: 25.4.0 20240118.r.319 67d7f0b x64

Here is the exact version.

Hi, I have experienced a similar bug with recent versions on Photoshop... Have you found any answer regarding this problem ?

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Graphic Processor Settings) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

To be honest, I don't know how to recreate the bug (for me it happened once yesterday and then it didn't happen again) so i'll have a hard time finding a way to solve it...
Anyway I use the GPU for other important stuff in photoshop so I won't turn it off.
To be more precise, it seems that the bug happened when I copy-pasted several blocks of text from one document to another ?? (not sure)
The giant problem of this bug (I'm not entirely sure that it's the same as tav-2933's) is that there are blocks of texts appearing randomly all over the document (some in giant fonts, some distorded), acting like images and not text (meaning that you can't delete them with you keyboard delete key) and that going back in the history doesn't return the document to its previous state !! Even if you close the document without saving the changes, when you re-open it, it has all these distorded texts all over.

I did not ask you to work without GPU-usage indefinitely but to check whether disabling it makes a difference. 

If it does then a likely culprit would be the GPU driver and you may need to update it or roll it back.

Do a search in the forum, this has been reported by others. IIRC it was a problem with the video card/driver but I'm not sure.
