Photoshop 26 - unusable artboards - hangs when moving artboard

I kindly request assistance with fixing an issue with artboards in Photoshop. They cannot be copied by dragging with the mouse or using the 'plus' icon. It always gets stuck, and it takes an extremely long time. The last 'usable' version was 25.7; this bug appears in all subsequent versions and significantly slows down my workflow. 😞

 

System: Mac mini M2 Pro, 16 GB RAM, Ventura 13.3.1

Should perhaps be updated into something like "Auto-size Canvas hangs when rendering artboards"

since we narrowed down the issue.

There is a workaround for this, and the bug does not connecting for versions. Solution

I have the same issue. Moving artboards in photoshop causes photoshop to hang and freeze for like 1-3 minutes. This has been an issue since last summer! 

 

Are people still experiencing this issue or is it only me?

 

How has adobe not fixed this yet... it's insane to me.

Open Creative Cloud, click on Applications, in the Photoshop box select the More Actions icon and then Other versions. This will open a list of versions for you to download.

Upvoting. It's definitely an Adobe software issue. I've tested all of the fixes proposed by Community and the only one that worked for me was downgrading to 25.5 version. I'm using latest macOS on 14" MBP2021.

There have already been attempts to report this as a bug, but admins keep moving it to Discussions or Ideas.
I guess they're trying really hard not to fix it...

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
