Hello, I hope I am in the right place for this:

I am on a Mac 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, with 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3. I just installed OS Mavericks. I am running Photoshop CS6.

Randomly throughout using the program, my windows/palettes (i.e. the layers palette) will become white. Even the "Save" window menu will become white. It's still functional (if I press enter on the save menu, it will save), but I can't see any of the options. I've uninstalled the program and reinstalled. This has unfortunately not solved the problem. Please help

Thanks for the help in advance!

Michael

Updating the drive only seemed to keep it at bay for a bit longer. I got the white out issue again today, so this is another person adding to the list that updating is not fixing the problem.

Photoshop CS6: Recently when I'm working on a project the toolbar stops loading (File/edit/image, etc.), I get a white box under ALL tabs, including the tools (Brushes/shapes/, etc.). The buttons still seem to work, but since it is white I have no idea what I am clicking. This means I cannot save an image before having to force quit the program. I never used to get this problem.

seen this thread on really odd and weird menu behaviours (perpetual licence version)?

this badly needs fixing , especially the issue (after the first mentioned prob) of getting the opacity slider to show a tool name (error)

I upgraded my Wacom drivers and am still experiencing this problem as well as having black filled squares show up randomly on my images. I'm certain this is a Maverick issue.

After creating masks to cut out areas of a photo the menu text disappears (or possibly changes colour to white text on a white background).

I guess getting rid of Maverick is the only solution since this started with Maverick. Apple is really letting down its backbone which is the creative community. They stopped paying attention to us a long time ago.

Bonjour,
je rencontre fréquemment un problème jamais vu jusqu’à présent, au bout d’un certain lapse de temps Photoshop réagit bizarrement, les palettes n’affichent plus aucun texte, elles apparaissent blanches, savez-vous d’où vient ce problème ?
NB. Je suis sur Mac OSX Mavericks, iMac 27", 2,8 Ghz Intel Core i7, 16Go de RAM, Photoshop CC
