Default Text Tool Misbehaving

Suddenly when I type or paste text in using the text tool, it will not let me type in a return. All text either continues in one long line--or if it's pasted into the text tool it loops on top of itself. Does anyone know why the text tool would not accept a return? It works on my other machines. Is there some setting that I've accidently changed?

Thanks!
Diana

Welcome to the forum Dkornf!

I've never experienced your problem... perhaps someone else here has and can answer for you. Firstly, it would help to know what version of PS you are using. And, did you test various fonts? And, did you try closing the program and relaunching it again. [confused]

Welcome to the board Dkornf [righton]

Maybe a silly question, but does the return key work in other programs?

You might also consider to reset Photoshop, by holding CTRL+Shift+Alt when you start the program. You do lose your settings in that case, but it's a good solution for various unexplainable problems.

Also, a good general troubleshooting step, if PS is the only program doing this to you, is to quit Photoshop, then move its preferences file out of where it is. Its location depends on your OS and the version of PS you're using. See this page on Adobe's site for the location for your version/OS.

Don't trash the file just yet. When you restart PS, it will create a new, fresh prefs file, but without your custom settings. If all is well, you can now throw the old one away. If this didn't solve your problem, you can always shove it back where it belongs.

Photoshop's prefs file is famous for getting corrupted. I keep a copy of what I know is a good one, with all my settings, so when it goes south, I can simply replace it with the good one.

Thanks for the reminder, Julie!

And be sure to make a backup of the backup when you do replace a bad file! It, too can get corrupted.

(DISCLAIMER: The above tip is not for people smarter than me! )
