Hi all,

since the last update i have an issue with the hand tool. Usually i use the space bar for switch to the hand tool and scroll the image, but after releasing the space bar and the mouse click the tool keep working like if i am still holding down the commands annd the cursor movement clearly move my visual. For unlocking it i have to click 4-5 times on the image o clickin on the navigator.

Someone have an idea for fixing it? 😞

Thanks a lot

Hi I have same issue, but IDK it's work or not. You just turn off Preferences > Tools > Spring-loaded Tool Shortcuts

Very funny bug. ! I only care about bug testing that I'm interested in and downgrade every time I check it hasn't been fixed so I didn't notice this.
If I don't click the mouse one more time like the space bar hand tool has a magnet on it, the hand tool is fixed?
an interesting bug

The same problem. Dramatically reduces my work speed, it is very annoying. I hope this issue will be resolved as soon as possible.

Same problem. I'm working in an environment that already uses legacy undo shortcuts turned on and flick panning turned off. I thought it was an issue with an old mouse so I bought a new one. The problem persists. It's clearly an issue with the latest version of the PS.

This also happens with the zoom and the marquee tool (and probaby other tools as well). The tools seems to get stuck if you move the cursor while releasing the mouse button. It works if you hold the cursor perfectly still when releasing the mouse button.

So, which is the latest version that works? 24.0? I don't have the energy tro try them all.

I rolled back to 24.0, and it works just fine.

It's a bug. Downgrade is the only solution. There's a handful of threads about this.

It is a bug, agree, but to my knowledge resetting preferences fixes it for everybody - except those who say they set "legacy undo" instead. But I suspect resetting prefs would have done it there too.

These fixes do not always work. I tried. Did nothing. Rolling back to previous version is the only thing that cured it for me.

Photoshop V24.5, same issue, even using Legacy Undo in Shorcuts. Not my hardware, as I do not have the problem in Illustrator.

At work I use Photoshop on a Mac but on the rare occasion I work from home I use it on my PC. This problem is not happening on the Mac but is happening on the PC.

PLEASE FIX IT ADOBE!
