When pasting text from any application into Photoshop, the application crashes

297 views5 repliesLast post: 7/13/2004
I am using OS X Panther and when copying text from another application (or a browser), and pasting into a Photoshop text field - PS crashes. Any help would be much appreciated.

This may help narrow it down, by noting when it DOESNT happen:

- Photoshop CS
- Safari 1.2.2
- working from same .psd file

- copy text from safari
- switch to PSD file
- create *new* text field (Arial)
- paste text

- all is ok

this leads me to believe the crash may only happen when pasting into an *existing* text field

Could be a corrupted or duplicate active font.

I can't say I've ever experianced this.

do you use a font manager??

your problem is most likely a corrupt font

or a font conflict

Thanks for the suggestions, the font being used most often is Arial. How would I troubleshoot a corrupt font? Replace them from someone else's machine?
