P: Adobe Spaces Helper crash

Something really weird is happening to Photoshop CC 2017 and the bug is still here after numerous PS updates and different computers so I'm sure it's something in the code of PS or CC app. 
I'm not entirely sure WHEN it starts behaving wrong (few times I was doing something with the text but other times I wasn't) but I definitely know when I see these symptoms: 

- unable to select any menu 
- unable to move layers or anything on the screen 
- unable to save with CTRL+SHIFT+S (Save as) 
- I'm ABLE to save with CTRL+S 
- lasso works 
- fill works 
- hitting TAB totally messes things up - the windows get scrambled! 

The only solution for this currently is to restart Creative Cloud app with the shortcut SHIFT+CTRL+ALT+R while the CC app is in focus (but sometimes this bug messes up the pc so much that I can't get the CC app in focus, even get to my task manager or other windows to behave normally). 

Has anyone seen this kind of behavior before? 

So it's totally weird and I bet the problem is in that damn Creative Cloud app I wish they never thought of in the first place 😕😕 so buggy.... 
Or.Or maybe the problem is related to the graphics card? I'll try different nvidia drivers and see how it goes... 

Anyways here a crash info if it's helpful. 

Thanks for the help everyone!

I had the same problem.


The problem occurs with installation via CCApps and also with installation via Packaing.

Unusually, in the case of packaging, it occurred after installing the 2017 version.
The 2015 version will work normally.

Installing via CCApps is a CC version that causes both problems both 2015CC and 2017CC.


Additional, This problem occurs with ntdll errors.

I use nVidia card.


Below is the Windows error log. (Sorry to Korean Language)

If necessary, I also collect error logs using the Adobe error-collection-tool.

A helping hand is needed.

I should probably mention, I have BOTH an AMD and an NVIDIA card on my mainboard. Adobe Apps currently use the AMD (Radeon RX 460)

I have been experiencing this for some days now.
Never thought it might be connected to the right-click, but I will keep an eye on it.
Here is my crash log:

The bug is still here. I think it has something to do with the right mouse click. I tried two different mouse models and the bug seems to be introduced after right clicking. Then the symptoms begins. I then double clicked and had a crash.

Second time it occurred a minute ago I was trying to zoom using CTRL+SPACE+LeftMouseButton.
Also when in that "bug-mode" when I try to move some panels around, the mouse gets "sticked" to the penal title bar as if I was holding the left mouse button but I only clicked it once.
Also I think it's interesting to mention that when I right clicked inside Google Chrome window, the Chrome crashed. Two time I tried it and I had two crashes. That happens ONLY when Photoshop is in that "buggy.mode" never before! When Photoshop is closed chrome and every other app runs perfectly.

Here's the error code:

Thanks for replying. I totally forgot to mention, but yeah I tried that. The same issues occur even if the Creative Cloud app is NOT launched before Photoshop. What's even trickier in that scenario is that I cannot restart CC app to remedy the situation since it's not even launched 😕😕

Too prove your theory, "which I believe is right," why not exit the cc app and start PS without it and see what happens.
