Whenever I click and hold a tool icon to get an alternate tool, the flyout icons appear in a new Mac 'Space'. (See attachment showing the icons floating on their own).

Problems arise when using Apple's Native Full Screen. Make sure to turn it off.

 

For example, if you have Photoshop set to Desktop 3.

When you go full screen, Photoshop moves to the new Desktop, but the tool popup remain in Desktop 3.

If you then turn off Full Screen, Photoshop may go to Desktop 1.
In that case, the tool popup will still be displayed in Desktop 3.

So try not to use Apple's Native Full Screen in Photoshop.

This bug is not limited to the Beta version.

Hi @FA222 

 

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


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.
