'Esc to cancel/commit text' alert keeps reappearing

[jonnyr39056025]

I've only recently upgraded to CC and am finding using the Esc key to cancel text somewhat annoying.

On the first time I hit escape while editing text it gave me a choice to set esc as cancel or commit changes - being used to CS6 I want cancel. This seems to work fine, but it doesn't seem to remember what I chose between sessions, and sometimes will pop up multiple times per session.

Is there anything I can do to stop it popping up this alert?

Thanks

Go to the photoshop preferences under Type, uncheck Use ESC key to commit text and restart photoshop.

Hi Jeff.

That option is already unchecked in preferences. It's not that pressing escape is not doing what I want, it's that Photoshop keeps asking me over and over for my choice, interrupting my workflow with unnecessary alert messages

What operating system are you using?

If in photoshop you go to Help>System Info what version of photoshop does the top line say?

See if resetting the photoshop preferences fixes it.

You'll still get the dialog the first time you use the esc key, but hopefully it will stick.

Go to Edit>Preferences>General, click Reset Preferences On Quit and restart photoshop.
