    Text tracking changes when edit text

    brian-j Community Member

      When I edit  paragraph text the Tracking appears to change. However, the actual Tracking setting in the Character pallet does not change. In other words, spacing between letters gets reduced but none of the actual Character settings change.

       

      This issue happens when I click in a paragraph to edit the text, or when changing the text color via the Character panel. After I'm done editing the text, if I double click the type layer to select the entire block of text the spacing returns to normal.

       

      Any ideas what the heck is going on?

          Could be anything from the font's built-in kerning to hinting to you overriding the kerning by setting it to perceptive to mundane antialaising differences while you edit or even a layer style affecting the actual appearance... Take a pick, but I would assume it's perfectly normal within how it's supposed to work based on your settings...
