Automatically defaulting to Middle Eastern and South Asian layout paragraph

[Elaine5C9A]

As of lately, I've been having issues with Photoshop automatically defaulting to Middle Eastern and South Asian paragraph settings, and it's really annoying, to say the least. Every time I select the Latin and East Asian layout when I start a new paragraph it will automatically set back to the Middle Eastern and South Asian paragraph setting.

I can type out what I need to in the Middle Eastern and South Asian layout then go back and painstakingly reset the paragraphs to the Latin layout, but that's terrible for my workflow. 

I am using MacOS Sierra (I can't update right now) and I'm using Photoshop 2019. 

I have reset my preferences and I have East Asian selected in my type preferences.  Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Such an issue may happen in InDesign or Illustrator, I never thought a Photoshop user may experience this. Anyhow, I'm sure you tried to change the text engine option in Preferences > Type

I believe you have reset your Photoshop preferences just like it is shown in the Help.

Hello thank you for replying back, unfortunately, I don't have those options in my Text Engine Options, I have the choices East Asian and Middle Eastern, and South Asian. I have tried resetting my preferences, and so far no luck :c

This is a constant pain for me, too. Somehow because I've worked on a couple of Arabic projects, now Photoshop thinks that's all I ever want to do. Did you ever figure out a solution?
