Is your Gradient Tool Option bar functioning?
I sent this as a bug report and Jeff Arola, Community Expert, suggested that I also post this to the Photoshop forum, so I hope I’m in the right place!
After updating to Photoshop 27.9.1, the Options bar across the top of the UI no longer works. If I create a gradient, if I make any changes to it via the Options bar, nothing happens. I can’t change Gradient presets, change the the type of gradient (linear, radial, etc), Reverse, or method. These all work in the Properties panel, however, and I have to change them from there.
Steps to repeat this bug:
- Apply a gradient
- Go to the Options bar at the top of the page with the gradient layer selected and make a change to the gradient or click reverse.
- Nothing happens. Swapping colors also does not work.
Expected Result: Gradient will change by changing settings in the Options bar.
Actual Result: The options change in the options bar but nothing happens to the gradient.
My computer: Mac Studio 2023, Apple M2 Max, running Tahoe 26.6.2
Installed Version of Photoshop: Photoshop 27.9.1
This appears to be a bug as it is happening since the last update. Thank you.
