P: Photoshop 21.1.0 Choppy Panning when "Flick Panning" is disabled (windows 10, flick panning off)

deomis thank you so much!

it worked for me ! thank you. i don't think i've ever clicked on the "hand tool" in the tool bar before so i never thought of searching there !!

i feel like i can finally use the latest photoshop version !

Try to check the box Scroll All Windows in the Hand Tool settings.

Try to check the box Scroll All Windows in the Hand Tool settings.

I tried everything that was written in these and other similar posts - nothing helped.
I accidentally found a solution. I checked the box to Scroll All Windows in the Hand Tool settings.
Now everything is smooth. It also helps a little to lower the mouse polling rate (I had 1000)

this issue haven't been fixed yet. I've been skipping every updates for about a year now because it makes photoshop unusable

Same here, I'm using flick panning now as a workaround, but I really do not like it. A few weeks ago I noticed that the flick panning did not work, and all was fine. In settings, flick panning was selcted, but for some reason it did not work, which was exactly what I liked. But later (after restarting the computer?) flick panning kicked back in...

Is there any solution to this issue yet? I still have the issue with my 980ti. The panning lags when zoomed in more then 100%. I never had the issue before with PS on the same system

Windows 10

Wacom Cintiq

Photoshop 22.0.1

Prefs>Performance: everything is turned; I'm using my GPU.

Panning is unbearably laggy.

If I turn on Flick Panning, it "fixes" the pan lag.

Just one problem, though - I loathe flick panning haha (and don't understand why anyone wants it, tbh).

Whether panning with mouse or stylus, it makes no difference.

My zoom level doesn't seem to make a difference, including when at 100% - still laggy.

I've got some numbers far ya. I noticed the pan lag doesn't start happening until my canvas gets to a certain size:

(Tests done in a PSD with only one layer. That one layer contained a 1000px X 1000px white square and nothing more - just raster pixels, not a vector shape.)

-Up until 4000px X 4000px my panning is decent; even bearable. It's perfect if I turn on Flick Panning - it reminds me of going from 30fps to 60fps in a game; just gets uber smooth.

-Now if I increase my canvas size to 4200px X 4200px - panning is becoming a problem. Again, enabling Flick Panning will get me butter smooth panning.

-THEN if I increase my canvas size to 4500px X 4500px - non-flick pan panning is now completely intolerable. The canvas scrollbars always move responsively but the canvas update speed is terrible.

-I can raise my canvas to 8000px X 8000px and Flick Panning will still cure the pan lag!

-Lastly, I tested one my larger working files - yep Flick Panning makes panning super smooth again. This particular PSD is 14,336px X 3,073px, lots of adjustment layers, normal layerers, blendmodes, etc etc.

So uhhh . . . yeah. Pleeeease flag this issue so it can get looked at quick.

Until then, my canvases are gonna be flying all over the place due to stupid flick panning. jesus

Yes this wasn't a problem at all on 2019 or 2018. It can't be the mouse as the cause of this if it didn't happen in previous versions so it must be a bug that got through Q&A.
