Photoshop type tool strange behavior

Created a new text layer in Photoshop by dragging the type tool on canvas and the character color palette displays a ''?''. Whatever I do (typing text, changing font), can't get to change that for an actual color.

St茅phane,



Is this with one font, or with any font you choose? Is this something new with your system?

Do you have the text selected? Or is it possible that the text contains more then 1 color?

Someone gave me an RGB PSD layered file with some text layers asking me to figure out what happened. As soon as the ''text box'' of the layer is selected, the type that used to be white disappears and the text color icon becomes ''?''. I then tried to reproduce the problem on a new created empty document, selected the text tool and clicked on the canvas to create a text layer and color is ''?''. Same thing happens when dragging with the text tool...

reset your type tool.

Still doesn't work...

see if the problem exists in a new user.

OK seems like each time I select a ''corrupted'' text layer, my type tool will stay corrupted, whatever I do until I reset the tool. Then it's fine until I reselect a ''?'' color fill text, then I have to reset the tool again. Very strange.

A corrupted font that needs replacement? Again, is this ONE font or many different ones?

2 different fonts on 3 different text layers. Looks like the text tool was corrupted when making the paragraph-style text layers. The only workaround I found was (after resetting the text tool) recreate the text layers keeping the same properties. The newly created text are then behaving normaly.
