P: Drop shadow changes distance from the object depending on the zoom level

Hi. Almost, its not a drop shadow issue, it's clipping mask issue but i'm getting a similar problem. Unticking legacy fixes this issue. Could this be because the file was created using an older version? We've just been allowed to upgrade from 2017 to 2020 version.

Hi Jonny, sounds like you are seeing a similar, but different issue: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/photoshop-21-drop-shadow-glitch is this what you're seeing? if so, please me too that conversation.

ive had the same issue, ive recently upgraded. Legacy Composting fixes this but are we expecting this to be fixed considering your post was a year ago? https://www.dropbox.com/s/cgxvdx21gr920mk/Quiz-Celeb25Nov.psd?dl=0 Heres the link ill keep up for a while

Sending you an email with a dropbox link.

Hi Paul,
We're sorry for the frustration.  This sounds like a graphics discrepancy.  Would you mind sharing your PSD file by DropBox or emailing it to me (sender@adobe.com)?  That we can can do a fully analysis for you.

What's the card in the 2015? Sounds suspiciously like a GPU/driver issue. If you disable "Use Graphics Processor" on the 2015, does it render correctly like the Mac Pro?

How does it look with Legacy Compositing off? (restart Photoshop for the Legacy Compositing change to take effect)

Yes. But curiously on my MBP 2015, the cyan banding in the drop shadow remains after Checking Legacy compositing and restarting PS, while on my Mac Pro with GTX1070 video card, there is no artifacting.
