    My PSE 13 is stuck in caps lock and I have tried several things to get it turned off with no luck. This is ONLY happening in PSE and not in other programs.

    - restarted PSE
    - went to edit > preferences > general > type and clicked reset and then restarted again

    I really don't even know what else to try. Can anyone help?

    UPDATE: of course as soon as I posted this, I DID get in unstuck by hitting CTRL + shift + Y. However, now the spacing is messed up between the letters. I am trying to use a script font where each letter normally touches and now there is a big gap between each letter. PSE just has it in for me today.

    SECOND UPDATE: so, every time I create a new text box I am having to hit CTRL + shift + Y to be able to type in lowercase letters. AND, I think something about that is what is messing up the spacing between the letters. ANY help is appreciated. I am going crazy.

    You may need to reset your PSE preferences and I'd restart the pc as well. Go to Edit>Preferences>General and click on Reset Preferences on next launch and then shutdown and restart.

    You also may want to start a new file or open up a file/template that you know has good font settings. I seem to remember that helping someone in the past.

    I've had this happen to me before and I found this tip which worked.

    Restart PSE
    Hold down ctrl/alt/shift.
    Keep holding until program asks to delete settings files

    THIS! I opened a PSD file I had made with good font settings and it reverted it back for me. YAY for my PSE working as it should once again.

    Anytime the font gets wonky in PSE I do this :) I think you suggested it the last time someone had the issue.. I want to say it was Desi too with the font being up in the text box... anyway it seems like @GlazeFamily3 is fixed now :) YAY

    I know in PS CC you have to show the character panel and uncheck the little TT. Drove me nuts until I figured this out. Not sure about PSE.

    PSE doesn't have this unfortunately! It fixes a lot of my issues!
