Version 13 SUCKS

The fact that there is no category for User Interface in general is telling. The new version UI is horrible beyond words. Multiple scroll bars. between the Preview and content panels is BULLSHIT and they don't work properly. This is so bad I won't use it and Bridge was a key part of my workflow. Obviously you didn't consult anyone who actually uses the program. Capture One is now my go-to application. And why do I have to create another account that's different from my adobe account to provide an entry here. More bullshit - ever heard of single sign on.

Output workspace: no longer able to navigate to different pages in Outlook Preview screen, nor can you change the Outlook Preview screen Zoom level. The reset button is non-functional; you have to exit Bridge to clear the selection. Terrible experience using this Bridge Output workspace in this version of Bridge. Please fix this ASAP.

also the UI keeps glitching out.
Im getting the hover overlay even in other applications.
the only thing i needed fixed from 12 was multi core support NAS support, SFTP, Webdav, Thumbnail pause and last to load. and auto fill navigation.
with 13 its like they are not listening to the users at all.

I still use 12 and now it no longer works with Ps and Ae but i barly use it for them.

also i have asked for years no a version of bridge in synology so when i share file links they can see thumbnails of all the supported documents.

You're one of many users with alike opinion during short time - the ears must already hurt.

I'm sure this will fall on deaf ears but there it is... I won't use Version 13
