Setting text size in Photoshop script doesn't seem to work

I have written a script and used it for several years to take metadata and place it on a PSD file as a layer as 12 point text.
This script runs fine on my main desktop computer running Win7 and Photoshop CS 6.
I moved the script to my laptop running Win 8.1 and Photoshop CC 2014 (latest updates applied).
When the script hits the line:
TextRef.size = new UnitValue(12,'pt');
the "size" value does not change3. I set a breakpoint and traced the code leading up to the like and the TextRef.size value in the data browser is "2.88px" before and after the line is executed. The resulting text is placed in the text layer as a 2.88 point font (i.e. "squint-font") rather than the 12 point font desired.
It is the *exact* script on both computers and runs perfect on one and seems to skip the line of code. I checked that the Units and Rulers preferences are the same on both systems.
I am stumped. Can anyone help point me a further direction to look at this?
Thank you!
-Mike

If finally found references to this problem as something others have found in CC+. I have tried some of the suggested functions to work around the problem, but I get errors that some of the requested calls are not supported in in this version of PS. You read more on this thread: Did CC 2014.2 break textItem.size?
I am going to dust off an old laptop with CS6 on it and use it until this problem is fix in CC.
Ugh...

How do I set text size in photoshop touch for ipad?

I Am new to photoshop and on a work deadline. Can someone explain how to set the text size?

If you're adding new text: Simply tap one of the white corner handles and swipe outward.
If you want to change the size of text later on: Tap the transform icon (5th icon from the upper right).

I have set text size to Auto but it starts too small

I have created a form in Acrobat Pro 9, and set text size to Auto in all fields.
I know it is limited to the height of the field, but one of the fields is a block for multi-line paragraghs. Size is set to Auto, font to Times Roman. When I open the file in Reader to test it, it looks like it's starting at 12 points. It goes down from there as the whole block is filled with text, but I'd like it to start at around 18.
Advice?

as I mentioned, this one field is a block for multi-line paragraghs. It's one, large text block, taking up the bottom half of the form, so that users can input multiple paragraphs of text (they're telling their story). Some people will write a lot, some less. That's why I set it to Auto, so that the shorter stories would be in larger text, but longer stories will still shrink to fit.
It works, but I want to know if their is a way to get the text to start out at a larger font size before auto-sizing-to-fit. I mean, Something is telling the font to start at 12 point...
Should I attach the form to this discussion? (How do I do that?)

My daughter has just bought me an iPad 2 from Dubai and set it all up for me but unfortunately the iMessage function doesn't seem to work. We keep getting messages,when trying to activate it, that there is a network connection problem - help!

Thank you both for your responses but my daughter was reassured by the salesman in the iStyle store (official Apple store in the UAE) that iMessages would work but conceded that FaceTime wouldn't. My iTunes account is registered in the uk and my daughter's iPhone has iMessages even though she bought it (and uses it) in Dubai. Can anyone else throw any light on this?

Is it possible to use a Script within an action? - it doesn't seem to work...

Is it possible to use a Script within an action? - it doesn't seem to work...
I'm using the 'round any corner' script from SATO Hiroyuki..., and I'd like to apply it to only one anchor point (on multiple boxes)

An Action can call a script from the File>Scripts menu by means of the Add Menu Item Action step. But it will only work for the duration of your Illustrator work session. If you quit AI and then restart it, the Add Menu Item step will be blank. This bug has been reported for FOUR FULL VERSIONS of this sloppy program.
However, if I am correctly understanding your description of what you are trying to automate, an Action will not be able to automate the selection of a particular anchorpoint in multiple paths. You'd have to make the selections all at first. Whether the script would then apply as desired to each path depends on how the script is written.

Numbers application on Ipad, the 'VALUE' function doesn't seem to work correctly on the string/text I want to convert to a value.

Hi, I would appreciate if someone could assist with the following. On the Numbers application on my Ipad, the 'VALUE' function doesn't seem to work correctly on the string/text which I want to convert to a value. It gives me an error (in my example: 'VALUE requires a string specifying a number, but found "-14308.65" instead.'
The exact same document (if converted from Numbers to excel), displays the converted string/text correctly in MS Excel as a value though.

click on the cell then in the formula bar and use the arrow keys to move the cursor to see if there are any other characters in the cell that could confuse the function. Also make sure the localization for your country is correct in System Prefs.
Maybe copy the EXACT contents of the cell and post here.

Setting privacy pane to always block cookies on my brand new MacBook pro doesn't seem to work

Setting privacy pane in Safari to always block cookies on my brand new MacBook pro doesn't seem to work. None of the settings seem to make any difference. What gives?

Are you not able to start aperture on your old macbook? If you are able to then you can retrieve your serial number by clicking on 'about aperture'
If not then it's a call to apple as the above posts suggest. I did when I lost mine, bear in mind though, they may ask for your original receipt as they did with me and I had to fax it.

You have sync all iCal calendars chosen or selected calendars?
No problems syncing contacts with the Address Book or with anything else included with the iTunes sync process?

Safari on my iPhone 6 running 8.02 doesn't seem to work right. Some Java scripts don't show correctly and they do on other browsers I have downloaded. I tried almost everything and nothing seems to work to fix it. Please help.

Some websites like the one of my college uses JavaScripts and they seem to load correctly to a certain point but then not really. For example in one it would say select an option from the left menu. And I do it hut nothing happens. But when I go to the same website in another browser on my phone. The JavaScript works completely and allows me to see whatever I was clickig on that menu. I have seen that there are other websites being affected too. I tried clearing my cookies and data. even restarted my phone. And doesn't seem to work. I don't know how change the configuration any more to make it work like normal. At first I thought it was my school's website but it never got fixed. And now I realized is my safari browser! I wanna keep using it since I am really familiar with It. If someone knows how to fix this please let me know!
Thanks

Oraenv doesn't seem to work

Version : 11.2.0.3
Platform : Oracle Linux 6.3
oraenv doesn't seem to work as shown below. I haven't set ORACLE_SID in the .bash_profile as this server is going to have multiple DBs in future. So, I need to use oraenv script to set env variables.

$ . oraenv

Ideally, it should prompt the SID listed in /etc/oratab file. So, in this case it should be something like

if in fact you did exactly as posted above, the su - oracle established a new process which knows nothing about the previous invocation of oraenv
BTW - never use OS "root" when dealing with Oracle DB
