Thanks for posting your comments, Noel. I couldn't agree more.

I was still writing up a couple serious bugs I had found when the forum was shut down and I never even had a chance to post them. In fact, one other bug I had posted was in the middle of a discussion and we were still doing some troubleshooting when I was locked out of the forum. That one was fixed though.

One of those unresolved bugs I was in the process of posting was an issue with erratic cursor tracking on machines like mine running multiple monitors. I can't put my Layers panel in any display other than my startup display or it causes severe cursor tracking problems, making work nearly impossible.

I decided to contact Adobe Support via chat yesterday and after explaining the issue in detail to the tech, I was told to work in a single monitor when using Photoshop. WTF? I couldn't believe what I was reading! They are suggesting that I abandon the way I've been working for a decade and also thousands of dollars worth of displays and graphics cards because their unstable, unfinished product was released prematurely.

I've been a rabid pusher of all things Adobe since the early 90's when these apps were still a new thing, but this is the first time I've felt like they are dropping the ball and completely ignoring users like us who purchase every Suite the moment they are available.

I am disappointed.

...and a little pissed.

Don't bother (unless you just have to rule out everything, like I do). The problem isn't Font Explorer X: it's Photoshop.

I tried running that script that was posted (earlier in the discussion) during beta, just as a last ditch effort to resolve or at least narrow down the source of the problem but it didn't help.

Since the font style duplication isn't happening in any other application, I'm sticking with PS CS6 being the source.

If you find a solution, please let me know.

I really didn't notice any performance issues, just more and more copies of the same font styles as the day goes on. By the end of the day I'm looking at 25 or 30 copies of Helvetica Neue Bold Condensed!

I just turn off the font preview to make the list seem shorter.

I've tried running all my font utility apps (Font Doctor, etc.) and have cleared out all my prefs and cache manually from all the system folders but still have the same problem. It's strange that I never had any of those issues during beta, only now in the public release.

I'm going to try some other things to see if I can fix it but haven't had time due to work lately. Hopefully I'll figure it out by the weekend... or not.

I really don't want to switch font manager apps just to make Photoshop work. It's hard to keep moving things around and updating libraries when I have over 4000 font families to maintain.

I'm really disappointed that they released CS6 with so many unresolved bugs. They really dropped the ball this time around.

I have an issue with cursor tracking and erratic behavior when clicking around in Layers, Paths, Swatches and other panels that are located in any one of my monitors other than the main startup Apple LED Cinema Display. When I contacted an Adobe tech he suggested that I "work in only one monitor when using Photoshop"! That was their response, word for word.

Really? I should put aside my additional graphics cards, my 2nd & 3rd monitors on one Mac Pro, 3 our of 4 monitors on my other Mac Pro, and unlearn the way I've been working for nearly 20 years just because they pulled out too soon?

Wow.
