Why does this geniune bug still exist?As opposed to what? There hasn't been an update yet. We are all anxiously awaiting 13.0.1.
Or are you speaking to a bigger picture issue, with multiple releases of Photoshop?

Paulo Skylar Aug 15, 2012 10:37 AM (in response to therealrgbk)The problem you mention is not showing up here on CS6 (nor has it ever) .

therealrgbk Aug 15, 2012 10:43 AM (in response to Noel Carboni)Ok, this is very useful, i appreciate ti.
Actually, you are right. here is the catch, soemtimes it happens, sometimes it doesnt. I never know why iot does with one document, and not another.
~could it be some prefs that is doing it?
I'm hoping soemone in the forums knows about this and why it's happening.
Btw, i set my prefs to PT not PX, still does it. Argh.
Thanks,

Nope. I tried it with everything set the way you have it (though I don't have your particular font) and I saw no problems...
That may explain why Adobe hasn't fixed it for you - it's not broken everywhere. It may be a problem specific to your system, especially if you've seen it across multiple Photoshop versions.
Can you make a copy of that design available (or maybe a simplified document derived from it) online? I'll be happy to try it using your document.

therealrgbk Aug 21, 2012 12:32 PM (in response to Noel Carboni)Been a while, but this is a well asked question it seems. Here's the defacto one from the looks of it.
Short answer, it's a bug.

therealrgbk Aug 21, 2012 12:41 PM (in response to Noel Carboni)Hah, actually seeing you responded to that post too saying it's def a bug, but over here you're saying it's my system ;-)
Well captured - it's easy to reproduce doing what you did. Definitely looks like a regression bug, since Photoshop CS5 didn't do that.

Although for me, this has been an issue for years and years. 2007 at least. Them saying that it's a bug caused by resizing text in the PSD makes a lot of sense. I upped my psd by 200% for retina designing.

charles badland Aug 21, 2012 12:49 PM (in response to therealrgbk)But that is a bug I think is specific to CS6, and can be reproduced after scaling text then targeting more than one layer. Easy to reproduce.
Can you list steps to reproduce in earlier versions?

therealrgbk Aug 21, 2012 12:57 PM (in response to charles badland)The only difference to the screencast in that post is that if I make a text layer, say at 24px, duplicate it and then select them both, the size is accurate (24px each).
Then, if i transform those layers to say a totally arbitrary number, like i dunno, 107.34px, then select them both, photoshop says they are 24px each.
If i select each one individually, they are 107.34px.

I didn't correllate your issue with that in the other thread. The key issue, which you did not mention, seems to be resizing the text with the Transform. Is that what you're doing as well? I didn't do that when attempting to reproduce your problem above.

12. Re: Why Adobe, Why? Selecting multiple type layers causes character palette to go loco.
therealrgbk Aug 21, 2012 2:10 PM (in response to Noel Carboni)Yep, it's just really close to that issue, put it this way, i googled the issue i was having this evening, and then found those posts which mentioned the fact that the transforming is causing the issue and put two and two together, because i knew i'd transformed the file.
I'm still adamant that i was having the issue since 2007 at least. It was the same back then. Sometimes my text sizes where messed up if i selected multiple layers, sometimes not, and i could never figure out why.
But anyway, this is actually a duplicate post now, we should send users who find this to that main post.
Thanks for all your input and time btw, it's appreciated.
