Actions panel issues (no scroll and keyboard shortcuts don't work)

I use many actions - most with several steps and many with keyboard shortcuts to start them. Before 8/20/25 PS update, when I used a keyboard shortcut to start an action, the "Actions Panel" would go to that action and show the steps, highlighting the current step.  Now, the step is still highlighted, but the panel does not update, so I have to manually scroll through the actions to find where I am. In addition, a few of my keyboard shortcuts have "broken" and will not work to start the action.

Hi @nmdg

Sorry for the trouble with the Actions panel you're seeing, I've moved your post into its own thread so we can focus specifically on what's going on for you. Most of these things you describe we haven't heard/seen so far, so we'll be starting fresh to figure out what's going on.


Are you able to export and share your list of actions with me so that I can attempt to reproduce on my end? You can email me the .atn file at petgreen at adobe dot com


Alternatively, here are some other suggestions to try in the meantime:

  1. Try resetting Photoshop's preferences (Note: You may need to reimport actions after a manual reset, so ensure you have them saved!)
  2. Is this actions behavior any better in Ps beta for you?
  3. Do you have any plugins installed?
  4. Try going through our basic troubleshooting doc and see if any resolution can be found via those steps.

 

Regards,

Pete
