P: Inaccurate selections with Radeon graphics cards on Mac OS

Hey Michael

Sounds like you're able to isolate the bug. It'd be decent if you could roll out a patch for CS 5-5.5 users who purchased an upgrade from 4 only to find the bug introduced! The whole suite isn't exactly cheap! I can't see myself upgrading for some time. Besides, CS5.5 is not all that old. Surely Adobe value their customers enough to offer more than minimum support for their products.

In hope, Rick

Update: We were able to reproduce this, thanks everyone for your help. We'll investigate a fix. Somehow this was reintroduced with the latest patch, it doesn't occur in 13.0.

I have too, unfortunately. Seems like it started after updating to 13.1

My setup is:

Mac Pro, OSX 10.7.5
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB
Processor: 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 14 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM

I can't reproduce this on the same machine configuration. Could you give me more detail on your workflow and what you're seeing?

Hi Michael,

Intel HD Graphics 3000.
Mac (MacBook Air), OS 10.7.5

Hi Sam,

Could you specify which Intel graphics card you're using? Intel HD 3000? Intel HD 4000?

Is this for a mac or windows machine?

Thanks.

I have started to get this issue again, in CS6 (Intel graphics card)

We're preparing to release CS6, and the workarounds are not simple patches. No, there will not be updates for CS5.

Very nice of you guys to take care of this.
However, a logical question would be -- are you guys planning any CS5/CS5.5 patches with these "workarounds".

The bugs are in Apple's video card drivers. Adobe is just attempting to work around the bugs, and that took significant time to develop and test.

When Apple fixes the bug in the drivers, that should solve the problem in all versions. But until then, we've tried to avoid the problem in the latest version of Photoshop.
