Hi. This is some weird issue I had with PS versions for last few years. Usually I worked on CC 2017, but recently I switched to the newest version (and I'm starting to wonder why I did it), and the bug came up. It makes me restart Photoshop much too often. After I play around with shapes I bit, the bug appears and it only gets fixed when I restart PS. You can see the bug in a video HERE. At some point isntead of changing fill color, shape gets scaled. It was like that for a few years, in the meantime I formatted system drive, reinstalled whole OS at least twice. The bug keeps coming back.

    Would it be possible to get a copy of the PSD file you're seeing this with?

    Hi. This is not related to a specific PSD file, it happens in every file for a few years even after clean install of Windows 10. I've found another bug report that seems to be related to the same bug here: 

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/bug-change-in-shape-attributes-affects-shape-scale/td-p/11869289

    One person suggests: "It seems to be something with specifically using a multiple screens and a cintiq, possibly". I am using 2 monitors, but not a cintiq. But, since he mentions Cintiq, maybe it's related to having 2 separate monitors working on 2 GPUs? I'm running GTX 1080 on my main monitor and my iGPU on my 2nd monitor. I didn't manage to pinpoint conditions under which the issue starts appearing, but just before I made this reply I had this issue appear literally in 2 minutes after opening a file.

    Wow. That is strange one. I'm trying to reproduce it but not having much luck. I've asked some teammates on the vector/shapes team to take a look, too. Any idea what leads up to it malfunctioning like that?

    Here's a weird bug when any change to shape attributes (fill type, color, stroke) does not apply and reduces the shape SIZE by 1px.

    It's pretty common for me for some time.Found no permanent solutions.

    Video demonstration attached (note the history view):

      Interesting, though it would have been interesting to see the Properties Panel. And I cannot reproduce th eissue so far. 

      Just to make sure: This is a user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.

       

      What have you done for all-purpose trouble-shooting so far?

      Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:

        Thank you for your response! 

        I'll try to restore the preferences and see how it goes.

        Also, is there a way to report this bug to Adobe by any chance?
