Thanks @deoxygen7 for the note; try unchecking the 'use native operating system...' preference in Performance> Advanced to see if the behavior changes.

Thank you. I see the Missing Drawing Mode options in the Version 22.1.1. Its fixed. However, I encoured a new bug with liquify tool in the Version 22.1.1.  I created a seperate post.

Hi there,

We're happy to announce the release of Photoshop 22.1.1 which includes the fix for this issue. Drawing Mode option is restored with this release. Update Photoshop to 22.1.1 version via the Creative Cloud Desktop app and let us know the outcome.

Thanks,

Mohit

Administrator - Please  look into this problem. I just invested a lot of money in egpu to improve phtoshop performance and latest photoshop is missing out on options to take advantage of my egpu.
