When I draw a text box in Photoshop cc 2019, the text box is filled with text in a foreign language (not English). The text box has not done this in the past. I have tried resetting the Horizontal Type Tool and that did not fix the problem.
It sounds like that's the placeholder text (lorem ipsum). If you want to turn it off, go to Edit > Preferences > Type... and uncheck Fill new type layers with placeholder text.

The programmer that did this is [abuse removed]. They think it's funny.

I agree. And he should be fired.

I'm having the same issue but I'm using Photoshop on IPad Pro 2020 and am not seeing that option. Also when I delete the text it autofills againš©

Hi,
As Myra said, it can be turned off. Otherwise, the text is selected, so just start typing to replace the text or press delete and then start typing.
Itās the Lorem ipsum dolor dummy text that you are seeing:

it quite usefull anew feature of Photoshop CC 2019
You can easily select and remove or change this text any way you wish
As said Myra - you can turn it off - but try it more - it's usefull

Useful? In what world could that ever be usefull? By default, it should be off, and whoever did this should be fired.

Especially since the "Lorem ipsum" did not always disappear for me.

I found on my mac click Photoshop CC -> preferences -> tools -> TYPE -- under type options - uncheck -fill new type layers with placeholder text.
I don't know why the headings/directions are different but this is what my mac shows to get to the result of removing the text Lorem Ipsum.... from automatically showing up when using the horizontal text tool.

Thank you Myra Ferguson - I didn't have this problem until Photoshop 2022 on my mac but it was definitely frustrating. I found your fix by going to Photoshop [instead of Edit] >Preferences>Type then I unchecked the placement text box. Anyway, thanks again!

Windows always puts Preferences in the Edit menu; macOS always puts them in the Application menu (in this case, "Photoshop".)
