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.

Have just reinstalled 23.1 and observed the same new behavior.  Please note both 50% and 33.34% settings create ONLY SQUARES in this 3:2 image.  This function is of no value to me.

Thank you for this demo... but your example is square.My experience with 23.1 is that the grid ALWAYS comes out in squares based on the horizontal value but does not show as rectangles modified by the vertical value as was the case previously.  If behavior is as previously observed, the grid will be composed of aspect-correct ratio rectangles.  Can you try the same move on a 3:2 aspect ratio canvas, please?  If results remain 3x3 identical rectangles I will assume my installation was wonky and try the upgrade again.

Hmm. Seems to be working here with 23.1:
