This bug just showed up for me in Photoshop 2023 when I updated to 24.7.4. I don't jump to new versions if the version I am running is working well, mostly because of things like this. Adobe's QC cannot be trusted. Updated on a whim this time, and instantly regretted it. I have no touchpad or tablet attached, just the same mouse I've been using for a couple years.

I did everything that has been suggested here, but it had no noticable effect. Frustrated to find out that updating to 2024 might not even fix the issue.

Hi @gabrielar58077941 Go to Photoshop Preferences/Technology Preview and check “Disable Native Canvas”. Quit and relaunch PS.

Hey, @gabrielar58077941. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll help you figure this out. What specific version of Photoshop & the operating system are you working on? Does this happen after a series of steps?

Try this:

Go to Photoshop (Top left) > Settings > Performance > Advanced Settings... > disable 'GPU Compositing'
Click Ok to save changes & restart Photoshop.

Let me know if the issue exists.
Thanks!
