Please explain in more detail.
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

2. Re: My numbers and punctuation glitching on Photoshop. Help?
Cheddarman1 Aug 28, 2012 1:46 AM (in response to c.pfaffenbichler)Right. If I was trying to write "The year 1995", when typing the first number, it would automatically go to the front of the text and look like "1995 The year". The same rules apply for any punctuation I use at the end of sentences.
Also, if I was trying to highlight all of the text, what would be highlighted would either be "1995", "The year" or the space inbetween "1995" and "The". It isn't possible to highlight every word in the text. Another thing is that the blinking line where the text should type is always at the beginning of the text unless I hold the right arrow key.
Please ask any questions.

c.pfaffenbichler Aug 28, 2012 1:54 AM (in response to Cheddarman1)That happens when using the Type Tool to create Point Type and Paragraph Type both?
Have you trashed the prefs yet?

Yes, both.
"Have you trashed the prefs yet?"
I just did so but it came to no avail.
I'll try the more time cosuming things on the list later when I have more time but nothing worked yet.

Cheddarman1 Aug 28, 2012 11:16 PM (in response to PECourtejoie)"did you reset the type tool (right-click the tool on the option bar)"
No, but I just did and it didn't work.
"Does it happen with all fonts, or just one?"
All fonts.
Something I just noticed was when the text starts centred on the right, the blinking line that should be telling me where my text will be coming up moves backwards when I press the spacebar; then when backspacing, the line goes fowards.
Sorry if that last sentence didn't make sense...it's early.

14. Re: My numbers and punctuation glitching on Photoshop. Help?
Tom Lippitsch May 15, 2013 3:30 AM (in response to Cheddarman1)I still have the problem that all punctuation is appearing on the left side of my text. What makes most of my documents useless.
Recreating them from scratch is NOT an option due to high complexity.
I am Cloud member and Photoshop is up to date.
What is the solution to fix that problem now?
- I tried switching between Middle Eastern and East Asian text engines.
- I tried to delete styles, resetting paragraphs, etc
- I deleted Photoshop preferences
Nothing helped yet.
Punctuation always appears on the left side instead after text.
What's also strange is that after deleting the preferences, creating a new document and writing text - the text is by default aligned right instead left.
Does that mean my documents, which I have built up over years/months, are irreversibly skrewed?

Select the icon in the very top right corner so a menu pops open.
Select:
Adobe Single-line Composer
and
Right-to-Left Paragraph Direction
That should do it!

lilithtwin Jul 29, 2013 3:19 AM (in response to torenchuk)Hi guys!
I use CC 14.0 and I can't seem to figure out the type tool. it types right to left and i tried all the solutions above. In the paragraph panel there's no left to right or right to left option and all the other options that may work out for me are greyed out and i can't select them.
What should I do next?

station_two Jul 29, 2013 3:34 AM (in response to lilithtwin)1 person found this helpfulYou have your Text Engine in Photoshop set to "Middle Eastern".
Go back to Photoshop Preferences and change the Type Engine Option to "East Asian" (don't ask me why Adobe has chosen that terminology ).

Xenil Nov 6, 2013 1:52 PM (in response to station_two)4 people found this helpfulHey there.
I've been browsing and looking for an answer everywhere in order to fix my problems.
I think I've found a solution, but just to clarify, this was my problem:
If I was to type the this:
Cat, dog and mouse were smoking it all up.
The sentence would come out, like this:
.,Cat dog and mouse were smoking it all up
Or something alike, anyway.
But I've fixed it with a click of a button, or two.
This is what you do:
NOTE: THIS DOES INCLUDE HAVING MIDDLE EASTERN SET, BUT ISN'T THE FIX ITSELF!
1. Go to 'Type' through the menu, or (preferences on mac) and make sure type set is set to Middle Eastern.
There, wasn't so hard, was it? =]
2. Now, do this:
3.
4.
5. This may set back and forth if you have a certain text layer selected, so make sure you're doing this independently of any layers.
Hope this helps.

This solved it for me.

oö Apr 1, 2014 2:11 PM (in response to Cheddarman1)I've got the solution:
- Type > Panels > Paragraph Styles Panel.
- Create new (Create new paragraph style), the button left to the delete option.- Double click on the new "Paragraph Style +1"
- Make the changes you want and save- Use the new paragraph style ("Basic Paragraph" is the one making problem)

nikitaamarie Jul 19, 2014 10:35 AM (in response to Cheddarman1)This worked for me. This is what I did..
Type>Language Options> Set to Middle Eastern Features> Click Left-to-right Character Direction.
And in order to enable the "Left-to-right character direction" tab, you actually HAVE to set your language option to Middle Eastern.
Good Luck. This has bothered me for months! smh.
