Second example:

Third example:

Other users on the same machine do not have this issue.

Resetting the Windows personal profile for this person did not help.

We use PhotoShop version 2025, build 26.4.1 20250225.r.194 4c5f14b x64 on Azure Virtual Desktop: NV12ads_A10_v5 with Windows 11 64 bits

Two things:1. The latest Photoshop version is v26.9 , you may wish to update.2. Try resetting Photoshop Preferences. The preeferences contain more than just the user set Preferences and are saved every time Photoshop closes. Any corruption can lead to strange behaviours such as those you are experiencing. You can back them up first and revert if it does not resolve the issue.https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/using/preferences.html#about_preferencesDave
