Photoshop CC 2018 - altering font-size, kerning, tracking etc on the fly

[jon_snell83]

HI all

Since I have updated to Photoshop CC 2018 (on mac) I have noticed I can't adjust font-size, line height, kerning, tracking or leading etc how I used to by selected the element and changing the value whilst it changed on screen as I was making the value  higher or lower. Now I have to enter the value in the properties box press enter and guess again at what the value I may want will be press enter and see if it is right. Is there still a way to do this how it used to work?

It works OK on mine, (CC2018 for Mac) maybe you need to reset your Photoshop preferences which you can do under the General tab in Photoshop preferences.

Thanks for the suggestion however I just tried that and it's still not working. It's a small feature but I find it annoying I now have to keep typing in a value and pressing enter rather than pressing up and down on the keys and seeing it change on screen.

Same here. It drives me nuts and wastes so much of my time. Did you find a solution yet?

It is a bug in the current version. It was introduced when the fix for a text leading issue was released. Adobe developers are aware and working on a fix.  See comments and response from Adobe at the link below:

Thanks for the useful response Dave.

Thanks for the information on that. I updated the Windows version of CC and it was fine just the Mac version that had this problem.
