Font changes when editing text of a pasted text layer

Just updated Photoshop to 26.6.0

If I copy and past a text layer, then edit the text. While it displays the correct font in the top drop down, it's not using that font. It's using 'Myriad Pro'. I have to type a few letters, highlight them, change it to the correct font, then I can continue editing in the intended font.

I would expect it to work the same as editing an existing text layer.

Hi @Property Plus! Thanks so much for getting back to us.

Would you and @artistic_enthusiasm5413 be able to try out a quick workaround? Some users who ran into a similar issue in the past were able to resolve it by turning off “Missing Glyph Protection” under Preferences > Type. Could you give that a try and let us know if it helps?

Really appreciate your help with this!

Hi @artistic_enthusiasm5413! Welcome to the community!

I tried testing this out on my end but haven't been able to reproduce the issue so far. Does this happen with every font? Have you tried resetting your Photoshop preferences? If you could share a screen recording showcasing the error, that would be super helpful for us to investigate further.

Thanks a bunch!

Alek

I've tried a dozen fonts at random and it was the same. I will do a recording before trying the reset so you can see the issue even if the reset fixes it.

Resetting the preferences didn't make any difference. Issue persisted.

Screen recording of the issue attached.
