Bridge Spacebar 100% pixel preview is not displaying unless I zoom OUT, and IN again
Adobe Bridge 2025 (15.1.1.729) on my MacBook M1 Pro running Sequoia 15.5.
When I preview a selected thumbnail by hitting the space bar, Bridge displays a full-screen image and a notification that it is generating a 100% High Quality Image. However, the image is not 100% pixel for pixel and appears blurry.
I can force Bridge to generate the preview with this workaround:
1. Click the preview to zoom out to "fit in window" view.
2. Click again to 100% zoom in.
After a second, I get the real pixel preview. So I know Bridge can do it, but this method of clicking in and out costs so much time with multiple images. Note: once the rendering of the image is complete, the preview looks good from there. This only happens to new images.
I've tried every variety of preference settings for cache and cache management. Is there a fix other than reverting Bridge 2025 for this? Script support is also gone from Bridge 2025, so I can't use a script to force the preview generation. If I had to guess for the developers, I would say that while Bridge may be generating 100% previews on the spacebar click, it isn't updating the display. Unless, I mouse click out and click back in again.
Let me know if a video would help.
