Hi John,
I’m having an issue with Photoshop CS3 on Mac OS X Leopard. When I activate free-transform on a layer and try to manually enter values into the input fields in the toolbar, the values don’t always take. Sometimes works, but most of the time the box stays highlighted, characters overwrite each other, and the new values are neither shown, nor applied to the object.
Any advice? Is there someplace in particular I should report this?
[It’s a known problem in Leopard that will be fixed by a future Apple update. –J.]
Thanks,
Matt
