P: Completely broken Hand tool (PS24.5) Hand Tool Sticking, sticky, not seeing mouse-up

Do you guys have pen pressure, I don't.

Haven't had it for a long time I think - it's not every day I use the pen. 

It's a mystery why this issue is such a mystery. Understatement to say finding a fix needs to be top priority. Please let us know if the team has any breakthroughs. Thanks!

This thread was created in june of last year and yet this bug still remains.

I don't even understand why Adobe keeps on launching those updates if we can't even use it. 

Pretty much all of my posts on this Photoshop board has been about those bugs and seems like Adobe has been working only in upgrading their AI stuff.

Since we are paying for paying for this product I think the minimun that we can expect is a bug-free kind of software (or at least some kind of problem solver kind of support that goes beyond something like "oh please reset your preferences").

I totally understand this.

After removing the PS User Config, I was messing around to set most of the thing ins Windows Ink to get it working in an acceptable way, but it was still pain in the...

A weird thing that I copied back PS User Config (switched off Windows Ink) and everything returned back to normal. No sticking issues.

So, I guess my original suggestion was not a solution to the root of the problem (as others reported the issues also with using a mouse). And I cannot explain why my Photoshop is working now as it should.

Sorry, that I could not provide valuable information.

Removing PS User Config is not an option for most of us using PS for real work - sorry. Its pretty much unusable with out it. 

Same here. 25.5 Is unusable because of this as of march 2024. 25.5.1 same. Totally consistent on all windows machines and easily reproducable - we're staying on 24 and strongly advice our clients to NOT UPGRADE under any circumstances. 

...aaand another (photoshop 25.5) it's just not letting go (though a double left click seems to unstick it then I have to undo to get back to where I was before the double click). I can't say it's been happening in 24.7 though... mind you I've not used 24.7 much due to the general performance of Photoshop being fairly rubbish vs earlier versions (it seems the choppy performance seems to have started since they started running multiple instances of Microsoft Edge Webview2) I've gone back to Photoshop 20/21 which is smooth as butter and no clingy pan (and no Webview 2 either).

How on earth do you break a perviously functioning (and intergal) part of an application that's been working for years? (Adobe aren't the only ones though, Autodesk are at it too, select multiple objects in 3DS and the movement handles won't stay still so you can't move said multiple objects along a single axis, as with Adobe, they aren't fixing a basic, fundemental part of the software either, though at least Adobe are acknowledging that there's an issue).

Tech specs - Win10, 3900x, 64GB RAM, 5700XT, Cintiq Pro 24

Adding myself to the pile of folks struggling with this bug, even after upgrading today to v25.5.

Though I can add some info to the "we're having a difficult time reproducing the issue" comment (at least from my experience):

I found I was able to reproduce the issue reliably when making quick movements where the mouse is in motion when I released the mouse key. This most often shows up for me when flick panning, but also frequently happened while making quick selections of a large area, selecting a large amount of text, etc. In those cases, the issue seems to occur near 100% of the time.

If I make more deliberate movements such as panning and coming to a complete stop, pausing before I release the mouse key, the issue was far less likely to occur if at all. I wasn't able to get it to reproduce at all when testing this way.

In version 25.5 there is still this error haha

About that fix:  The price I paid, at least the way I did it, was that I lost a bunch of preferences.  I keep encountering them.  Just now had to fix the Lorem Ipsum thing in new text boxes.  Worth it though!!!
