P: When changing tabs, you see the current tab until you resize the entire image window

Sometimes if I have multiple files open in tabs, when I select another tab from the one I am working on, I will continue to see the tab I just navigated from until I resize the entire window. This also applies to tab groups of other windows such as character, paragraph, properties, layers, etc. So for example, I will be in the Layer tab in a tab group, click on the Properties tab, and continue to see layers even though the Properties tab is selected. Then when I resize the window, I'll see the correct content in the tab. Sometimes, opening an additional file has also fixed the problem. 

This doesn't happen consistently enough to replicate on command, it only seems to happen once every few days, and on completely random files. Still, this is a huge disruption to my workflow.

I am on mac Sierra. Should I still try to uncheck the processor?

Are you on Windows? Sounds like a graphics driver issue. If you go to Preferences > Performance... and uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" and restart Photoshop does the problem go away?

If so, update your graphics driver and reenable the preference.
