Move tool bug - jumping objects

  • March 3, 2020

A question to fellow designers: has anyone encountered a glitch in Photoshop like the one presented in the video. The objects jump after being moved. I have been struggling with this glitch for a few weeks and it's driving me crazy to be honest. I use Photoshop on Macbook Pro 16". I can't find any solution on Google, and it's an absolute nightmare to move object in Photoshop now. FYI: it's not snapping to anything, it's happening with the snapping switched off.

    The only temporary solution to this is to drag the layer where you want it then release then immediatley tap, after you've tapped you can then move the cursor again straight away without it dragging. It's incrediably frustrating and the fact that adobe have overlooked something so fundamental is a joke.

    This bug still is not fixed. Just downloaded Photoshop 22.1.1 and objects, vectors, pictures... are still jumping. This is very annoying! Only solution so far has been to use an older version of Photoshop! Adobe, you gotta fix that asap, seems to be a problem of many.

        I've been tearing my hair out over this as well. Grateful to know this isn't just me.

         

        The only work around I've clobbered together is holding moved objects in place for .5-1 seconds before releasing (agonizingly tedious but at least it allows me to move objects preciesly.) I've found the larger the object the longer the hold time. Anyways, eagerly awaiting a fix for this. I'll be bald soon.

        The bug is still there on the newest version (21.2.1), object would move a little toward the position of the cursor after releasing the left mouse.
