P: Grid Behavior Changed in 23.1

In all PS versions 23.0.2 and earlier setting Grid to 33.34 Percent with Subdivisions = 1 created a nine-section, tic-tac-toe-style grid which divided both horizontal and vertical axes into three equal sections, providing nine working sections, each having a ratio equal to that of the canvas.

 

In PS 23.1 setting Grid to 33.34 Percent with Subdivisions = 1 creates canvas full of squares, each of which has all sides set to (essentially) one third of the horizontal value of the canvas only, regardless of vertical value.  There appears to be no setting available to force behavior to divide vertical values by any percentage.

 

If this change was purposeful, it has deprecated one of my most important tools for composition.  If it wasn't, please arrange to align this setting with results obtained from previous versions.

 

PS 23.1 uninstalled; reverting to 23.0.2 pending correction or confirmation of intent to change.

I also just installed 23.1.1, and no change to grid behavior.

Same issue here, Photoshop 23.1 on Windows 10. 

 

This bug/feature makes the grid completely useless for anything else than squares.

Has Engineering investigated this yet?  Mine is doing the same thing as the Author.  I used to divide into a gridline every 33.33% to place a "rule of thirds" guide on my canvas.  This works horizontally but not vertically.  This makes this feature useless to me.

Using PS for scanned comics pages, the  "fifty percent grid trick" is essential for my work...have now downgraded to v. 23.0.2...hope something is done soon.

@focused_Glimmer5C85 still nothing. I don't know how many people need to complain before this gets resolved, but maybe if we keep this thread alive something will actually happen?

I'm having the exact same issue. 23.1. This feature is critically important to my work (architecture phogoraphy), I've never had an issue in 10 years. Has anyone found a solution?

How [cursing removed] has this not been fixed yet?  I too am quite frustrated by my "percentage" grid only being a percentage of the x axis, and not the y axis.

PS update today, and this issue has still not been resolved; very disappointing.

Happened to me as well. Was working fine one day the next it's bugged and isn't displaying correctly. Luckily I can function without but it's nice to have, unfortunately seems like a bug now.
