Photoshop CC 19.0.1: Text Size Scubby Slider and Up Down Arrow no longer gives live updates

Hi Hannah,

i am using the german version. I do not see this configuration windows when updating. I want to ensure that is the version 19.1, but I can not see it on the Creative Cloud App. I am currently using 19.0 and when I select "other version", the latest one is 19.0.1.

When I click to the link "New", this is new: update for a function, which automatically select striking objects; support for high resolution monitors and more improvements and bug fixes.

So, is it 19.1?

Greetings

19.0.1 shows 19.0.0 because they forget increment number
19.1.0 has fixed text preview

Hi Denny,

"When I click to the link "New", this is new: update for a function, which automatically select striking objects; support for high resolution monitors and more improvements and bug fixes."

Those are all new for this release, so yep that's the one! :)

Thanks,
Hannah

What’s the timeline, please? Thank you

I'm interested in the ETA as well.  Migrating to an older version sounds like a pain and I'll deal with the annoyance if it's a week or two.  But not a month or two.

Being a publicly traded company we cannot share timelines, but if you look at the general pace between releases, that should give you a good idea.

Joe - as far as installing a different version, it's honestly really easy. I install and uninstall different versions on my machine frequently. I'll attach a couple of screenshots. Just open the Creative Cloud Desktop app and then follow these images.

This is a terrible "trade-off" and causing more of a disruption to my productivity than the leading issue. The work around for leading was to type values into the properties fields and tab to accept the value. So to solve that, you made it so essentially we have to manually set values and tab for all character properties instead of just leading? How does that make sense?

The fix will be in an update to the present photoshop 19.0 or in a new version of photoshop next year?

Hi Melquam and JEA,

Due to the failure of a(n unrelated) widget control, Leading was effectively broken for many users.  Not all had the same experience, but many found it totally debilitating.  We wanted to get a fix out ASAP but recognized that the consequence would be to disable live updates for scrubbing and bumping, due to the limited time.  But once the control is confirmed, the layer(s) will update.  Limited live-updates certainly seems like a much better result than Leading going crazy or failing completely.

We're actively working on a complete fix and I can say that I was actually testing this today.  I cannot tell you when this fix will ship, but I can say that I see no reason for the next dot release NOT to include this fix.  That's as direct and transparent as we can legally be.

We're sorry that this impacted your workflow -- the goal was to make this better for the majority of users as quickly as possible.

Thanks,
David

This was a really bad trade. 

I want to just post a bunch of swear words at the moment, David. The leading issue had a workaround. This issue does not. If I'm understanding correctly, not everyone had the Leading issue, but lots did, so the solution was to break something for everyone that has no workaround so some who were too "debilitated" to use a workaround could function?

It just doesn't make sense. I'd be more understanding and would respect the company's position if you said something like, we screwed up, then we screwed up again, but we're going to fix it right away. Not, we had a choice between two broken versions of our software and we chose to worst of the scenarios and hopefully you'll have a working version on the next dot release.

Infuriating.

I'd suggest going back to Photoshop CC 2017 until this gets fixed completely, at least if you use text in Photoshop on a regular basis. 

Can you explain this? Not sure what you mean by modal state. I am seeing no preview whether text is highlighted which is how I normally use it) or if just the layer is selected.

No, the live preview does NOT work even if text is uncommitted!

Howdy Leah,

When a user-reported bug is fixed, we do try to put out a message on any thread that mentions the bug.  So when the patch comes out, everyone who is following this thread should get a message.

Thanks and sorry for the hassle,
David

HI Denny, I also use Windows 10. I've not installed the new PS yet, still using 2017. I've been on the road for 5 weeks and have been following all the bug reporting, so arriving back home have not decided to install the new version on my desktop. What I want to know as you're a Windows user as well, do you have other issues with the new version? 

Hi Rosa, here we meet again ;-)
Currently I have no other bugs / issues found on version 19.0.1, only this text sizing issue.
So I think, you can unscrupulousy install the version 19.0(.0).
With the "Creative Cloud" app you can manually choose and a another version to install. But carefully: I just found out, that installing a previous version will delete all the settings.

Hi Denny, we do meet again ;) Thanks for your response and help. . . . I can't help but be a little wary after all the bug reports. . . Have a great day :)
