Additional info: "Also, it might be worth mentioning again - in PS 24.0.1 if I grab the corner of the floating window, my cursor changes to the diagonal arrows but the window will not resize. If I do this in PS 23.4.1 I can resize the window by dragging (the image stays the same size within the window of course)"

@Sameer K There was more info, but unfortunately, posted in another thread by the OP:

"

OK, an interesting update.

 

I use 2 monitors so last night I was experimenting with opening files in the same monitor as Photoshop 24 in order to video the activity as I can't easily record 2 monitors at the same time.

Closing and reopening an image in one monitor doesn't have the issue - images open as expected and the floating window window resizes with the image on zoom.

If I drag an image to my second monitor (my usual arrangement) and close it (using File > Close, or X the window) from there, then when I reopen in monitor #2 the peculiarity happens.

 

Hopefully, this can give Support an idea as to what the issue could be. If essential, I can haul out my tripod and video camera to record from over my shoulder so both monitors can be seen, but this eats into my free time as you can imagine.

At least I've reached a stage where I can work on my own stuff in PS 24, as long as I remember to open in the "Home" monitor then drag across.

"

FYI, they still experience the bug in 24.0.1

Forgot to add:

Window: Arrange: Float All In Windows

and

Window: Workspace: Photography

 

This works correctly (as expected) when I use Edit: Preferences: General: Reset Preferences On Quit

but only once - if I close PS and reopen it the odd quirkiness begins and I can't rezise on zoom or drag/resize windows by the corner grab handle.

Still happening in 23.5.1

Hi all

I updated to PhotoShop 23.5 about a week ago, and have a niggling issue that I can't find a solution for.

I always open files as floating windows as I frequently have a lot of small images open at once and find it more convenient to navigate via the list at the bottom of the 'Window' menu.

I've been accustomed to the windows resizing with zoom, but that seems to have changed since the last update. I can zoom in and out of the image without issue but the windows all remain the same size, so there's a lot of blank background coloured space around each one.

I've looked through (and tried a lot of) the available and relevant preference options but without joy. It's a small issue, I know, but I liked my setup the way it was and it might just be a case of terminology I'm missing.

Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.

Mo

Just to make sure: Is Photoshop > Preferences > Tools > Zoom Resizes Window checked or not? 

August 25, 2022

Yep, it is.

Thanks for answering so quickly.
