Just downloaded Photoshop 2024 today. When entering the Liquify filter, the mouse moves on its own, jumping all over the place. This makes the Liquify filter unusable. Anyone else seeing this?

Yes! I've tried everything. Trashed prefs, re-installed, etc. No luck

Same ridiculous problem here.  It's really been nightmarish as it grinds my workflow to a complete halt.

Where are you seeing version 25.3? That latest update I have in CC is 25.2 and with it, it does jump around at first, but appears to be working.

well, would you look at that. v25.3 "miraculously" solved the problem that was solely Apple's responsibility to fix. Any other BS you would like to spout?

I use a Wacom tablet, and the same thing was happening to me. When I use the mouse it works fine. Must be the interface between them or some setting on the tablet. Haven't researched that yet, but using the mouse was a quick fix.

Adobe please do something with this terrible Liquify cursor bug!! It's not possible to work. Liquify is useless until the problem is resolved

Has this been figure out yet?? I thought it was happening to me because I hadn't updated yet, so I did, and it somehow got even worse. Where before I could do like one or two things when I opened liquify, now as soon as it opens, my cursor is going insane, whether or use my mouse or my Wacom. This is making it impossible for me to do my damn job. ADOBE. DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE.

The liquify problem (PS 25.2) not only occurs on Apple but also on Windows 10. Terrible

This has been an ongoing issues since upgrading to the first PS 2024 update and had gone on far too long!  Adobe, it is well past time to test and corect your software to work properly with other products as well as with with the latest Apple hardware and OS's such as Apple Sonoma 14.1.2  and my Mac Studio M2 Ultra. 

Liquify is an critical feature of my day to day workflow as a full time fashion and headshot photographer and I cannot believe how long this problem has persisted even after applying the past three or four PS 2024 updates.  

The workaround requires me to to either hobble the perfomance of my Mac studio M2 Ultra by disabling the graphics processor in the perfomace tab unleashing a whole new set of image refresh issues or accept the "ghost in the machine" self moving mouse cursor which makes the liquify filter basiclly unusable and forces me to fall back to PS 2023.  

Adobe's offshore tech support offers no solution other than reinstalls which do nothing to fix the problem as do all if the other solutions found online and I've seriously tried them all.  Adobe either blames Apple graphic card drivers on thier high-end M2 chips or the Sonoma OS in which Adobe has now had plenty of time to fix thier code to work properly with.   

While I'm venting, I've also just about had it with every Abobe update seemingly intoducing features as well as introducing a glut of new glitches as well.   I have been a user and pro client since the original Photoshop was introduced and it really feels like they are only about adding new features with very little attention to pre release beta testing and quality control.

Four upsdates since Photoshop 2024 released and this is still an issue?  Come on Adobe, you used to be better than this. Please do what is need to fix this bug and well known issue!

under the latest release 25.1.0 unter OS X Sonoma 14.1.2 works fine for me if I switch off use graphic proccesor  and multithread compositing liquify works fine.
