Why Is Photoshop Doing this to my text?
I’m using the latest version of Photoshop CS 3 (10.0.1). Whenever I try to skip to another line – you know – to make a paragraph it gets all wonky. When I hit return nothing happens: The type doesn’t go to the next line – it just disappears. Has anyone had this weird occurrence and know a fix for it?

My guess, from what you describe, is that the text box is too small for another line of text. The text isn’t disappearing, it’s just going “up”. But there isn’t any room up, because you’ve gone past the current size of the text box. Make the text box bigger. As big as you can, actually. Then type all your text, then play with the font size and the text box size until you get it the way you want it.
are you dragging out a text area? if so then you have to adjust for the size of the full text.
if you are just clicking and typing and it wont let you return, then something wonky is going on.
In addition to Mritty’s suggestion about the bounding box, you don’t necessarily need to create one in order to use text – only if you wish to have automatic word wrapping. Try typing the text directly into Photoshop without the aid of a bounding box and see what happens!
Hi There – I tried using a text box and the same issue occurred. Instead of wrapping it just went off. When I just click and write text it doesn’t wrap, either. WTF? I’ve never encountered this problem before…
Okay – I turned off Suitcase Fusion and I’m now able to have the text wrap. Now I just need a way to manage my fonts but I hate the built-in Font Book. However, I’m happy I found a fix! Thanks gang.
