Don't get me started on the colour swatches!

@Vanessa Fisher  After working in ps for 15+ years, this is not s small thing, Vanessa 😅 Since moving to Catalina this issue was bugging me the whole time. Plus not having all my swatches in one place but divided by freaking folders!

I can confirm, I have updated Photoshop to v 21.2.4 and it appears to have been resolved! Hallelujah. (Mac OS Catalina 10.15.6)

EDIT: I was mistaken. I tested initially on a newly created psd file. When opening an existing psd and testing - it does NOT work.

How such a small thing could have such a huge effect on my workflow!

I made a video to explain this issue to friends a few months ago.

 
Has anyone tried this on Big Sur yet? I have the beta running on my MacBook Air, might install Photoshop later to test it out.

The trouble is that if we don't have any troubles, we don't seek to find solutions. Google any new laptop and only *mostly good results come up. Once you have it and search for solution to your problem you discover, there's so much problems that previous os. Don't upgrade, unless you have no choice.

I was light years faster on all fronts (saving, opening files, opening PROGRAMS for that matter, it takes almost a full minute and a half for InDesign to boot... am I being ridiculous with that expectation?) on Mojave. I had to upgrade to Catalina in order to upgrade my Adobe so that I could open files I was getting from clients (who don't know how to idml). And then the nightmare began...

Off topic, Adobe worked for me faster on Mojave with lesser MacBook Pro. It had some issues, but it was much faster overall. I had to upgrade to MacBook Pro 16" and it only works on Catalina. For sure I won't be updating to Big Sur for as long as I can.

I'm on 10.15.6, but I just checked quickly because it's late, it seems to work. Will report tomorrow. If you guys are on 21.2.4 and 10.15.6 Catalina it means either I am mistaken or you or it's up to the specific mac we are using which seems unreasonable.
