New text layer always defaults to Myriad Pro Regular 16 px

[ktaki]

It does not inherit the settings of previously created text layer.

For me it always seems to inherit the settings from the last layer I selected, even if no layers are currently selected, in which case it should be Myriad Pro 16.

After some searching, I don't think we have the inherited type tool config implemented since the beginning, so this may be not a regression (unless the update of type tool config is managed in the PS side).

This is the commit that set the default type tool config on May last year https://github.com/adobe-photoshop/spaces-design/commit/3ea8d7f10da4866b53972e20e9e79eb409a079b8#diff-420547d8a9b5ced304c971dc662df535R37, and we've been using this setting since then.

I just did the same exploration and came to a similar conclusion, but I think that previous the assumption is that this was supposed to be the default behavior when a layer is selected. So, maybe standard Photoshop has a regression here?

[iwehrman]

@ktaki I can't repro your original bug. I think I still see that the settings from the selected layer are inherited. The behavior doesn't seem correct in case no layers are selected (it uses the last selected layer's properties instead of Myriad Pro 16). But that doesn't seem like a ship blocker to me. What do you think?

[shaoshing]

@iwehrman @ktaki I confirm that this is a regression in the core side. I tried it in pg dev 997 (lucky that I always keep the older versions :P) and the new text layers are inheriting the type configs.

BTW, all the old sprint builds are in my transfer folder if anyone ever needs them.

@iwehrman: The behavior you are describing is the original behavior up tp Ps 16.1.2. It changed to what I reported here sometime in the beginning of February. @shaoshing: Are you able to reproduce this? Are you saying the behavior reported here is correct according to the code you inspected? @chadrolfs: Can you try this also and let me know? Thanks!

[ktaki]

@shaoshing: Can you confirm you have reproduced this and this is a Ps Core bug? Then I will open a JIRA bug. Assign back to me.

[shaoshing]

@ktaki yes I confirm this is a core bug, since DS never implement such feature, and type tool does inherit the last config in pg ddev 997

[chadrolfs]

it only appears to inherit previous text layer settings if you re-enter edit mode for a type layer you want to inherit, then create a new type layer.
