Hey Everyone,
Im creating a design for website in Adobe Photoshop CC 20.0.1
But i have a problem. Everytime i try to select a text layer with my text tool the text changes to random text.
It doesnt matter which text layer I select it changes to a random text from the document.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Hi
Is this option enabled in preferences by any chance, if so disable it

Yeah I tried that, but it doesnt place placeholder text, but it automatically copies text from another textarea and pastes it in the one I select.

Try resetting the Type Tool
If that doesn't help try resetting the preferences

This is what it looks like before i select the text layer.

And this is how it looks like after i select the text layer, it just changes to another text from the document. I tried your tips but they dont work. I updated Photoshop to the newest version. I tried to turn of my Mac. Nothing works.

It only happens with this document even after resetting the text tool and Photoshop.

I'm having the same issue. I double clock the font to edit the words and it automatically italicizes it and the properties menu pops open. So I have to make multiple changes just to edit one letter.

I'm having this problem as well. It copies the font settings like size and line-spacing.
Try this to reproduce:
- make an area text and write some stuff to it.
- select part of the text make some changes like font size
- select a different part of the text and whatever change you made will automatically be applied to the new selection.
