Hi There,

We’re currently having many issues with the photoshop text tool across 3 different G5 macs.

Copying and pasting from any CS2 app into Photoshop, or just copying & pasting within Photoshop is very slow – about 25sec per paste.

Also, on 4 separate occasions over the past 5 days, Photoshop has hung. We’ve waited a good mins for it to come back to life, but in the end we have to force quit. However, when this happens, Photoshop deletes the file! Gone. Nothing there.

I scanned the forum list for this issue, but the design of this forum (especially compared with the Macromedia forum) makes my eyes go cross-eyed.

Is anyone else having a similar issue?

Dual 2Ghz G5
Dual 1.8Ghz G5
Single 1.8Ghz G5
OS 10.4.7
Photoshop 9.0×196
4GB of Ram per machine
3GB used by Photoshop

How many fonts are installed? are you using a font manager?

We’re using Suitcase X1 and we have about 10-20 font families open at any one time.

Also, forgot to mention that while typing, Photoshop will just randomly stop for 30sec. Then we have to retype everything.

This could be a font issue, but it’s just started happening – maybe since we updated to 10.4.7?

What changed on your system between the time it was fast and when it slowed down?
