Text tool bug

Just installed CS4. Using Flash on a new project. Whenever I
try to change the font on my text tool options, Flash crashes on
me. Is anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone have a
solution?

I would contact Adobe directly for this problem.

Why is my text out of order? Text tool bug?

I've seen this issue discussed for CS6 and earlier, but not for Photoshop CC.
The issue I am having is that the text is out of order when I type.
For example, when I try to type and address like "1234 main st." it rearranges while I'm typing and ends up looking like ".main st 1234".
Some people have said that you need to change the preferences from one thing to another and restart, but this fix is not working for me.
This happens both when typing in a defined text box or just free typing.
Help!

Never mind, I found out that I had to go under the Sorting menu in the Get Info box and correct the Album box there. Hope this helps anyone else who has this issue.

Text Tool on Tab Control Bug?

I'm trying to create some free labels on a tab control with the text tool and I've found the postion of the text insertion point is off. When I click anywhere on the tab the text appears a few inches above the point that I clicked on. The tool is working fine off the tabs and when I go to select the previously written text with it that works too. I've noticed the insertion point jumps around and is often in a new place when I open a new VI and drop a tab control down. I have free text on tabs I created last week so I know it wasn't doing it then. Has anyone else seen this behaviour?

Photoshop: Text box bug

Today our designers have run into an interesting bug I've never seen before, and perhaps one of you has and can offer a solution.
We are working on a file that has been opened and edited on both PS CS4 and CS6, contains images and text and some shapes. That's the extent of it's complexity other than the fact it has about 70 groups. It's a file we use to generate headers for our different outlet centers.
Here's what happens:
We open the file and the first thing that occurs is Font Suitcase apparently goes insane, loading fonts for about a minute.
After that abates the file can be modified normally. That is until you click on a text box with the text tool. Immediately the text in the box will change to another set of text within the file. Note that the layer selected is the correct layer -- It even displays the name as the expected text-- but as soon as it is clicked with the text tool the text in the box changes not just content but sometimes color.
My only thought is that when the file was saved back from CS6 the last time it was edited, the references that control the actual source text and not the pre-rendered shapes that are instantiated from the text source have been frame-shifted somehow. Like taking a few cells out of a spreadsheet on a particular column, it causes all the other stuff to get misaligned.
We've tried saving it back from CS4 / CS6 in a multitude of configurations such as Adobe PDF. No dice.
Thoughts?

What Chris didn't say is that unfortunately there's apparently nothing you can do to recover the contents of the file, save for recreating all the text (or dropping back to a version of the file saved before working on it with Photoshop CS6).
We all anxiously await the 13.0.1 update.

Photoshop CS4, Windows 7 - move and type tool bugs

My company recently had me upgrade my Dell Lattitude E6400 laptop from Windows XP to Windows 7. It was a reimage, so I had to reinstall all my software. Previously, I never encountered any bugs with Photoshop (barring the one that doesn't allow you to exit layer options, e.g., opacity, without physically changing layers)... anyway, now I've got two rather - extremely - irritating issues that resolve only when I restart Photoshop.
1. Move tool (I use CTRL + Click and hold most often): when I place my cursor on the screen, on the object I wish to move (with the correct layer selected), then I try to move this object, suddenly the object JUMPS to some far away corner of the screen. All I am trying to do is what I've always done, move something over a small bit; instead, I have to chase it around. It's like the center of the object/layer suddenly changes.
This issue seems to go away - at least for a while - if I restart phothoshop. But, if I leave it open for a while (as I use it 4+ hours a day) it returns, inevitably. SOOO frustrating.
2. Changing text box size: Every so often when I go to adjust the width/height of a text box - while using the text tool - something happens that causes the text box to actually skew/scale/distort/etc. the text. I've never seen this happen before - not on my personal copy/machine, nor on the Windows XP install.
I've Googled these issues, but to no avail. I'm hoping *some*one out there has some thoughts, particularly for the first issue, which is by far the more irritating of the two, as I end up chasing things around the workspace. (I often have to zoom WAY out, hit CTRL + T to get the transform box to show me where in the workspace it is, and it's generally FAR out of view.)
Thanks, in advance.

Some screen interactivity will be reduced without OpenGL, but it's livable.
OpenGL use was new for CS4, and as it was a whole new way of getting information onto the screen it did cause some problems.
If you do find the problem is gone without OpenGL (and I suspect it may be; I used CS4 for a long time without seeing what you're seeing so I'm convinced it's a problem on your specific system), check the video driver upgrades from Dell. A lot of drivers are coming out specifically to support OpenGL as Photoshop needs it - of course, nowadays, that's for CS5 mostly but it's likely helping to make OpenGL more stable for CS4 as well.

Help! Can't use Text tool in Photoshop CS5

When I launched Photoshop this morning and opened a file containing text and an image, I got the following error message:
"The type layers in this document were rasterized because something prevented the text engine from being initialized."
When I created a new, empty Photoshop document and selected the Text tool, I got this error message:
"Could not complete your request because of a program error."
The Photoshop text tool is useless at the moment. I tried relaunching Photoshop and restarting my computer to no avail.
Nothing has changed in my Photoshop installation except that I recently installed FontExplorer X Pro on this computer and activated the Photoshop CS5 plugin that comes with the program. I have now uninstalled the plugin, but the Photoshop text tool still doesn't work.
Suggestions greatly appreciated. I need access to a fully-functional Photoshop ASAP. Thanks!

Since you're having the same problem with a different font manager installed, it looks like the problem may lie with Photoshop rather than the font management software. I'm going to file a bug report with Adobe.
Meanwhile, you might want to uninstall Photoshop CS5 (Utilities/Adobe Installers/Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium) and reinstall it from the original disc. You do not need to deactivate anything before doing this.

Photoshop freezes when I click the Text tool.

Every time I try to use the text tool it freezes and I have to force quit.
Any suggestions on how to get the bug out? I've uninstalled and reinstalled, that didn't seem to help.

Hi,
Which version of Photoshop Elements are you using? and which Platform (mac/windows)/OS version?
What else are you observing-
1.Is the application crashing on using Type tool?
2.Please share the snapshot of any particular setup if you are in or it is freezing just on first usage?
3.Did you try by clearing the application preferences?
4.Did you try by using 'Reset Tool' option?

Soft Return in Text Tool

Hi all
I've recently upgraded to CS3 from CS1 (yeah, I'm always late to the party), and the transition has been a lot easier than I expected. However there's one thing driving me nuts!
When using the text tool in CS1, shift+enter would give you a new line within the existing paragraph (I believe it's called a soft return?), so it keeps the leading but doesn't add the "space after paragraph". In CS3 this doesn't work and it's really screwing with my ability to create decent web page mockups.
I've searched all around here and across the web and not found any answers - perhaps I'm using the wrong terminology?? Anyway - any ideas?
Thanks in anticipation! :)
Ben

Yes, that's exactly what I'm trying to use John (and that's what I'm used to in CS1).
I'm on PS v10.0.1, if that helps anyone.
Just checked and it works in Illustrator 10.0.2...
In fact, I can copy the necessary text into Illustrator, do my soft returns, and then copy back into Photoshop and it's fine. It's a bit bloomin long-winded, but at least it's a workaround!!
I'd love to hear if anyone else has encountered this? I wonder if it's a bug?

TouchUp Text Tool not working?

I have Max OS X 10.4, Acrobat 8.1.2 and cannot get the TouchUp Text Tool to work? Can select text and delete/copy/paste etc but cannot add/change/modify any text from the keyboard? All keyboard text keys not working or changing data?
Was using Acrobat 7 and it worked great, however this version is just not cooperating.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks,
Ron

I talked to a very helpful person at Adobe Acrobat Tech support yesterday (Tony) and I *think* I have the problem resolved. [BTW, I don't see any definite mentions to this here: during this problem I was able to delete (using either of the delete keys) text and I was able to hit 'return' to get to a new line - while using the touch-up text tool. Also, I was able to create a new blank document and type in next fine too.]
After troubleshooting all the possible causes with Tech support (including manually trashing all the /user/library/preferences/acrobat (folder) and all the com.adobe.acrobat ..(8) preferences in the /user/library/preferences folder - and after reinstalling Acrobat 8 - the issue still wasn't fixed. I called back Tech Support and got the same person (Tony) and with him still on phone, I created a new user on my Mac -- recreated the text touch-up tool problem and Acrobat 8 worked just like it was supposed to do. -- so ... the problem was in my 'old' user account & probably a font problem.
Tony the Tech transfered me over to a Font Tech at Adobe (who was a rude, nasty s-o-b who barely spent 2 minutes with the problem, but that's IMHO) who told me the only resolution, since in his opinion I had a corrupted User account, was to trash my current User account on my system and start fresh -- no alternative! Since that wasn't acceptable to me, and since the Font Tech could or would not give me a straight answer about transferring fonts from my User/Library/Fonts to the computer (root, not system) /Library/Fonts and working on Acrobat that way .... or fixing any font problems in my current /user/fonts -- ..... I hung up the phone and resolved to track this down myself (with the help that was already given to me by Tony the Acrobat Tech.
The first thing I tried this morning was to see if the Acrobat 8 text touch-up 'bug' was still happening -- and it was.
So I spent the rest of this morning validating fonts and deleting duplicates -- (you know how those nasty duplicate fonts just appear even though you think you have them all removed a month or so ago). I also moved all my Adobe otf fonts over to my /Library/Fonts and deleted those same fonts from my /User/Library/Fonts.
I just fired up Acrobat 8 and tried the text touch-up tool --- and it works fine! No problem at all.
Final answer (at least for me) is --> validate all your fonts. I used Font Book (Mac OS) to do this. Delete any major errors on fonts you can live without. Some of the warnings you get (on the critical errors and caution warning both are confusing: 'name' table warning, for example. I did find an Apple Developer document that explains (to a small degree) what these mean: http://developer.apple.com/textfonts/TTRefMan/index.html
Definitely delete every duplicate font you find. I kept some non-duplicated fonts with minor warnings, but these fonts wouldn't be used in Acrobat anyway.
I don't know if moving the Adobe otf fonts to my root /Library/Fonts helped or not since I didn't do a test of this prior to any validation on my user/font file. It was just one step in my bug fix.
Let me know if this works for you all too.

Text Tool Hangs System

PS CS5 Extended
Mac OS 10.5.latest
Mac Pro
Frequently when I click on the text tool, the spinning beach ball fires up and the entire system hangs. Can not force quit, change applications, nothing. It persists until I shut down with the power switch. What the heck? I know there is an issue when you have an enormous number of fonts installed, but there are only about 250 on the system. That's not large by any means. Other systems in the studio have similar numbers, and have no issues.

If the whole system hangs, you're looking at an OS problem.
It could be caused by corrupt fonts (all it takes is one), or some other system issue (bad files, bad RAM, bad disk, etc.).
Also, Apple has fixed a lot (but not yet all) of their font bugs in MacOS 10.6.5.

TouchUp Text Tool Issue

I am experiecning a strange issue on a PDF that was created from Microsoft Word 2007. It is a two page document but I am only able to use the TouchUp Text Tool on page one. I do not get the "I-Bar" cursor on page two to edit the text. The portion that I want to edit has a strange character in it, if that helps: It is obviously supposed to say "Yes" but, for some reason, it does not. I am using Acrobat version 9.5.5 on Windows 7 SP1 x64. Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have also been getting formatting issues when simply trying to correct a typo (swapping two characters). After selecting the TouchUp text tool, I hightlight and copy a character, and paste it into the correct location. The entire line moves down a couple of points.
I tried CtDave's suggestion: Acrobat Prefernces > select the TouchUp Category
Toogle "Enable Text Word Wrapping" on/off - try use of the TouchUp Text tool in each 'mode'.
With Enable Text Word Wrapping, all kinds of unwanted word-wrap formatting takes place. But on unchecking Enable Text Word Wrapping, the TouchUp text problems seem to disappear.
This is an odd effect, and suggests a bug. Enabling and disabling the Text Word Wrapping option seems to fix the issue.
Looking at the issue in more detail, I notice that by pasted text has additional white space above and below it, which other characters do not have.

Text tool issue resolved with new upgrade

It appears the text tool issue has been resolved with the new upgrade, now you don't have to use the transform function to move titles
now the text tool converts to the move arrow tool as expected.
They said it was a Lion's bug.
Thanks,
AppleLou

If it's a "Mobility" card then chances are it's in a laptop, and many laptop manufacturers are required to be the source for driver updates. You might have
to check with the computer maker.
If there's not a driver update for it, it's possible you could try downgrading the driver to an older version if one can be found.
What operating system are you running (XP, Vista, 7, 32 or 64 bit)?
I see they have a new release for your card for Vista and Windows 7 32 bit, for example, here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-32.aspx

Text tool: hitting 'enter' after typing a line disengages text tool

When I type text I get no new line when I hit return (enter). This happens whether I've drawn a text box first or if I'm just typing on a line. The text tool seems to "disengage"—it's still selected in the tool box & layer palette, but I no longer have an active cursor. This means I can only type one line of text at a time. Anything typed after hitting return doesn't show up. The fonts themselves work, and the leading is not so great that the text wouldn't fit in the text box or on the page. I'm hoping this is a common problem/bug that someone has encountered before! CS4 on Windows Vista.

How about this:
Go to Edit Keyboard Shortcuts.
Save the current configuration under a new name.
Load the set called Photoshop Defaults.
See if that helps.

Text Tool Fails After Constrained Crop

I'm making some large buttons for a project and used the constrained crop to standardize the buttons to 200x158. While PS lets me select the text tool, making a new layer, and locate it on the image, the text does not appear in the layer when typed. When I clicked the move tool the layer name changed to the text I had typed but it still did not show in the layer. This behavior does not occur with an unconstrained crop. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

You have probably acquired a strange setting in the Character panel.
Try resetting it from the drop-down menu top-right of the panel.

Touchup text tool causing formatting issue

We upgraded from Acrobat 8 Pro to 9 Pro and now when we try to use the touchup text tool the formatting gets messed up when you save. It usually puts in extra spaces and pushes letters on top of each other. Same document works fine if using the touchup text tool in version 8. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I have also been getting formatting issues when simply trying to correct a typo (swapping two characters). After selecting the TouchUp text tool, I hightlight and copy a character, and paste it into the correct location. The entire line moves down a couple of points.
