No more live preview for Shadows/Highlights after PS 27.8 update

The system is running an up-to-date version of Windows 10 with the latest Nvidia Studio drivers. The Shadows/Highlights settings dialog has always provided a live preview while moving the sliders, provided the live preview option was enabled. Since the latest update to PS 27.8, however, the live preview no longer appears as soon as a slider is clicked or activated with the mouse. The preview remains hidden for as long as the slider is being moved or remains active; the preview only appears once the slider is released.

Does it make any difference if in Photoshop you go to Edit>Preferences>Technology Previews, uncheck Enable Modern User Interface and restart Photoshop?

    You’re actually right. That setting apparently changes not just the appearance but also the functionality. After disabling it and restarting, the live preview works again. I can finally get back to work as usual!

    However, I assume this isn't the intended behavior and is actually a bug—right?

    Thanks a lot for your quick help.
