P: Mouse cursor glitching over layers panel

Hi All, I'm using a MacBook Pro OS 10.12 6 with Photoshop cc 2018. When I'm using Layers in Standard Screen Mode the mouse cursor glitches/flickers between arrow and hand and struggles VERY SLOWLY across the pallet. When in the Full Screen Modes it doesn't seem to happen. I need to have several images open in separate windows at the same time to be able to take elements of some images into the others - hence Standard Screen Mode. Very frustrating esp when editing multiple images together with many layers! Any ideas? Many thanks, David

    Hi Matthias,

    It wasn't happening until I updated to Sierra.
    Haven't updated to High Sierra yet in case something else happens!

    Several hours spent on the phone to both Adobe and Apple trying to solve this.

    With the mouse cursor size workaround this is what worked...
    I had a Photoshop image with multiple layers open,
    then i opened System Preferences > Accessibility > Display > Cursor Size
    and then adjusted the cursor size up and down until at one size the glitch mostly stops to the point where it's quite useable.

    I've also noticed that if the layers palette is placed within the on-screen image frame area the glitch stops completely.

    Hi David,

    thanks for the workaround. Unfortunately that doesn't work in my case, maybe it's because I'm using High Sierra (10.13.1)... I'm afraid that I have to hope for an Photoshop-update 😞

    Thanks

    Hi Matthias, I haven't found a total solution but I have found a workable way around it. After trying virtually everything else i adjusted the mouse cursor size in system preferences which seems to have
    stabilised the glitching! It still flickers a bit but doesn't get stuck over the pallet. Hope it works for you too! David
