With the Gradient Tool selected, the layer selection popup doesn't show when I hit CTRL-Right Mouse. It works with other tools like Brush, Eraser etc.

    I've updated and the problem is gone. Thanks.

    I hope the Smart Filter slowdown issue is solved soon as well.

        Well. I have to use CTRL to access the Move tool from within other tools. I always use it while using the brush tool. And adding the right mouse click shows the layer selection pop-up, like it would appear when using the Move tool as well. So CTRL-Right Click shows the layer selection pop-up from other tools. However with the Gradient tool that combination doesn't work. Pressing the CTRL key switches to the Move tool - that works. But additionally clicking the right mouse button, doesn't show the layer selection pop-up. 

        I tried it in PS2022 and PS2021 and there it works fine. So it must be PS 2023 bug.

        Hi @Andreas Resch testing here on Mac and Win, right-click brings up the popup with out CTRL + right click.  Have you always used CTRL+ right click to access this function?

         

        Sorry if we are not understanding the issue fully.  If you would share a screenshot or video of what you are seeing maybe we can figure this out.

         

        Thank you,

        Cory
