Layer naming bug

Hello. Using photoshop (Beta) 24.7.0. Apple M1 Max, Mac OS 13.4.1 (c) 

 

When double clicking on a layer name, the name highlights as expected, but then loses it's selection as I type a new name -- thus invoking many random keyboard shortcuts before I realize that the UI has lost the selection.

 

Workaround is to select the layer first -- then double-click the layer name -- but this is a new problem to work around. Thanks!

Hi @BGPictures 

 

Try resetting Prefs for the Beta:

/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ Photoshop Beta Settings (Mac Ventura)

/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/Adobe\ Photoshop\ \(Beta\)\ Settings (Mac)
C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Adobe Photoshop (Beta) Settings )Win)

Launch BETA Photoshop While Pressing The Keyboard Shortcut

With Photoshop closed, press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and then Launch Photoshop the way you normally would.

Glad to hear it @BGPictures. To see what version you have, launch Ps beta, then go to Help/System Info... you will then be shown in the first line what version you have. 24.7 is the beta version, but the last numbers are what change on the weekly releases... m.2245. 

 

 

Hope that helps in the future.

    Thanks @CShubert ! Resetting Prefs fixed it. FYI, I'm using the latest beta avail on Creative Cloud. I don't know exact version... ist's not visible via "get info" in the finder -- and about Photoshop... within the app just says 24.7.0.
