P: Move tool targeting imprecise

Same problem here. Incredibly annoying and frustrating.

Please FIX/CHANGE this, I really am considering "downgrading" back to CS4 because it's that critical to my workflow. It's all too important that our move tool is as accurate as possible, I don't see how this is seen as a "feature"

I've found the solution, I just downgraded to CS5.1 🙂 I've used CS6 for 1-2 days only

Big update today and yet this issue is not fixed... WHY????????????????????

FFS this is annoying. It has soured the new features in the update for me. I really don't care for looking at the new features now after seeing that this has not been fixed.

ADOBE - fix this mofos. Not usable.
UI stuff too.

I've just begun working with PsCS6 and I noticed this issue right away. I may be mistaken, but didn't there used to be a preference for clicking and auto selecting that would enable/disable this feature?

Why would Adobe remove this preference and then impose it completely (and quite inaccurately)? I just got my company to purchase this, too.

Well put.

Adding to your post - the ones most troubled by this change are the ones doing ui it looks like - the guys that deal with lots of little tiny layers, often VECTOR layers. We've spent years honing our mouse accuracy/hand-eye coordination. I can guesstimate pixels on the screen quite well, move my mouse very accurately pixel by pixel, I know exactly where my cursor's hotspot is, etc etc. . .

But now PS is saying, "Oh, you clicked 9px away from your actual target, silly! Here let me default to selecting that layer you didn't even click for you! High-five pal, we got it!!!"
Errrrr no . . .

To the dev(s) responsible for the 9px buffer variable, just change the "9" to a "0". There. I'll pay you anything. Kidding, kidding. But seriously . . .

I have recently gotten my company to invest in CS6, I am desiging high fidelity web design mockups, and also GUI's for apps and interfaces,

This is driving me to the edge, it's incredibly frustrating to have photoshop ignore the location of my mouse cursor and to assume that I am making a mistake and 'correct' it for me.

My cursor is where I want it to be, and I am clicking on what I intend to be clicking on. I need precision, I don't want photoshop to second guess my movements. It's really disrupting my work and I'm considering downgrading to CS5.

Np, F T.

@ Billy - seconded!

🙂 You're forgiven... Now Adobe since there is no work-around please get a move on and fix the problem. Thanks.
