P: Inaccurate selections with Radeon graphics cards on Mac OS

After installing Lion, selections with the Rectangular Marquee Tool generally are reduced by one pixel when the mouse button is released. For example, dragging a 25x25px square results in a 24x25px selection.

It appears this issue was solved by a fix to the drivers released with Mac OS X 10.8.3 or later. Let us know if you're using a version of OS X 10.8.3 or later and still seeing this issue.

That's not a particularly helpful comment for the end user. It's like saying you can use Photoshop without a display, with the disclaimer "the application is working, honest". The point is, the user is still not going to get any work done.

The application software works just fine. But the OS and driver software from Apple may not work until Apple updates it.

This makes no sense. How can you say it works with the Macbook Air, but not with the video card inside it? I'm not saying this is or is not under Adobe's control, that's beside the point.

Awesome, thank you for, at least, the consideration!

We'll have to see if the problems are that simple (I'm not sure they are), and if we could expose offsets that simply (which might not be possible if they're in shaders).

I meant it's been consistent for me. With a parameter in the settings to give users control of this display error, we could just adjust it ourselves, no? Something like:

Adjust Marquee
Horizontal _______
+ up, - down
Vertical _______
+ left, - right

Thank you, by the way, for the super prompt response. 🙂

Photoshop works just fine on a MacBook Air, and other machines.

But the function of your video card drivers is beyond Adobe's control.

It has not been consistent - we've made workarounds, Apple has made fixes, and somehow the driver never quite gets it right.

Couldn't we just get a fix placed in settings to correct the ant-march display by X by Y pixels? I've had this same problem since CS 3 (all on PC). The error's consistent and being able to adjust this in settings seems to make the most sense.
