P: Switching tabs doesn't show the correct image

I'm having this issue as well. Contacted adobe customer support and they told me to trash the preferences file and that didn't do anything to solve it. I'm on Mac Catalina and 2020, never had this issue with 2019 so I'm pretty sure 2020 is the problem. Anyone seen a fix? It's escalated now to happening almost every single time that I have two images open and I can't get anything done.

Hi Jeff, I have this issue fairly often as well. Normally I overlook, but when working with large files and multiple smart ojects and tight timelines, it gets rather frustrating. Any word on this one yet? Would ideally love to find a solution that doesn't trashing preferences, if possible (spent many years fine-tuning those). Thank you!

I'm also having this same issue for both Adobe Illustrator 2020, and Photoshop 2020 running macOS Catalina on my 2017 MacBook Pro.  Sometimes I can go hrs without it happening though, so its not always an issue for me, but it really kills the workflow when it does.  Basically all tabs, no matter if they hold a document pain or a tool panel, can suddenly stop switching to whatever tab you switch to.  I can resize the program or window and have that update it for some reason, but that is no way to work.  Only option is to close the program and open it again. 

One thing I forgot to mention: this started happening to me since upgrading to CC2020. The reason I originally mentioned it happening when upgrading to Catalina was that I upgraded both around the same time so I'm not entirely sure which is to blame. Maybe a combination of the two? I'm not sure.

Viewing more than one image at a time is a current issue for me since the upgrade, amongst others.  When I have two images opened at one time and click to the 2nd image, the 1st image remains on the screen along with all actions.  I try going to "arrange" to have them side by side and both images disappear, except for the actions from image 1.  I'm using Photoshop CC.  there are other issues, but I will try to conquer this one first.  I'm on a Mac with Catalina.

When switching from different tabs in the panels group the information display doesn't change to the selected tab. 

For example going from colour to libraries then to swatches the panel still shows the colour options. The same happens for all tabs open. This then causes parts of the window to disappear showing the windows behind. 

The panels in the user interface for both Illustrator and Photoshop have started not rendering properly (aka disappearing) both for the document panel and for workspace panels ever since upgrading to Catalina on Mac. This most commonly happens when pressing "F" to switch between document views. Other times when switching from another application to the Illustrator or Photoshop window, the entire document disappears despite the Window dropdown menu saying it is open.  

I have contacted Adobe Customer Support and they have continually told me to delete my preference files (Illustrator) or turn on/off Legacy compositing (Photoshop). Despite doing these, neither has fixed the problem. How can this be solved for good? It's highly disruptive to my workflow.

Sean, one other thing to try would be to resize the whole Photoshop frame/window to see if that forces it to update. Let me know if that makes it work/update.

Not sure you'll find one with Radeon 7.... I'll try disabling GPU next time this issue arises. I'm also moving up to Catalina soon.

Will do. I'll monitor. Thanks!
