Text date format changing automatically

Hi,

I noticed weird and a very troubling bug: When I use the type tool and type i.e. 10-12-2022, the date format changes automatically to 2022-12-10. 

 

  • Photoshop version: 23.5.1 (had same problem with 23.4.1)
  • OS: Win 11

 

It is pretty annoying.

Thanks for the update @branal8588027 

 

Let's make sure we're in a default state and there are no stale settings somewhere: 

Restore your preferences using this manual method:  

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#Manually  

Does it work correctly? 

If that doesn't solve it, you can quit Photoshop and put the Settings folder back. 

 

 

It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.  

 

Thank you,

My solution to this was under panel options for Character > Middle Eastern Features

Changing these settings, to LTR Arabic Digits resolved the automatic changes for the date format.

    THIS!  This is what has fixed months of frustration!!  Mine was set to Hindi Digits for some reason.  Thank you for this.

    Hi @CShubert,

    Unfortunately, nothing changed. It remains the same:
