P: Guides - VERY laggy when dragging guides

Thank you @davidbleja

@chad_rolfs I really appreciate this comment. Over the past couple of years, I've gone from decades-long Photoshop evangelist to downright Adobe despiser. One of the primary reasons for that was simply the lack of Adobe staff comments such as yours. 

I've been stuck using PS 20.x.x for the past couple of years because of the drastic performance degradation in subsequent versions. Over that time, I've trawled this space for fixes, only to find dozens of other people in the same boat, many with high-end machines like me, with a wide range of hardware represented (PC/Mac/AMD/Nvidia/etc), all of whom have watched Photoshop performance grind to an unusable halt for no explicable reason. I don't use the term "unusable" as hyperbole - I've seen multiple reports of simple tasks taking dozens or hundreds of times longer than before (eg. panning the canvas taking 20 seconds where it used to be near-instant)

The one thing I have not seen, until now, is an Adobe staff member acknowledge that yes, there are frustrating regressions at play. That there's a little more to the picture than just some small isolated blips on an otherwise faultless well-oiled machine.

It can't be easy to manage such a large, old, and feature-packed program at the best of times, let alone in a rapidly changing computing ecosystem of diverse and overlapping platforms, where you simultaneously need to remain an industry standard for professionals while appealing to a growing mass of more casual users. For all the anger that is expressed on these pages sometimes, I think most people understand the difficulty of the situation, and don't expect miracles. 

Though an honest acknowledgement that certain core functions are compromised and need to be fixed, no matter how brief, goes a long way. It reduces the feeling that those of us who have been screwed by Photoshop's recent troubles are banging out heads on the wall while Adobe remains oblivious or disinterested. 

It wouldn't have taken much effort to make the comment you made, but it brings a little sanity  to the table. It helps customers feel validated, sends the message that Adobe is actually aware of what's happening, and rekindles the hope that Adobe will eventually look at these problems in good faith. 

Thank you.

Thank you for your reply.  I do wish you well as I use Photoshop on a daily basis.

This is fixed in 22.3.1.  I understand your frustration @nolan_conley and it is not our intention to break things things that aren't broken or as you state "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."  Unfortunately in software development, sometimes fixing a bug in a separate part of the app can have adverse affects on other parts - that was exactly the case with this issue.  

We've been doing the best we can over this last VERY challenging year to continue to both add value and fix bugs but have unfortunately introduced a few nasty regressions which we've been working hard to fix.  All I can do is apologize and keep working hard to make Photoshop better.  I'm one of many at the company who share the same sentiment.  

*kerrymaxwell That's a separate issue which I think is captured here (and something we're working on fixing right now): https://feedback.photoshop.com/conversations/photoshop/photoshop-2230-pen-tool-not-working-as-it-should/6048a2bf7824794abde8b9c7

It's getting to be a little terrifying like Reagan when he seriously joked "We're from the government and we're here to help". 

Kinda beginning to sound like Adobe "We at Adobe have an UPGRADE for you and your life will be much better!"

Rulers fixed. Pen tool only showing points and no connecting path unless work path is present, still busted.

Thank you for fixing this.  In the future... please don't fix what is not broken.

This should be fixed in our next update, coming very soon!
