Bug still present in 23.0, unfortunately.

 

Hopefully it'll get fixed in the next update.

Hi—I got the stuck hand tool icon when using Illustrator, using the latest CC on a new MacBook with M1 processor.
Ironically, the hand became freed after logging into this forum and allowed me to alternate between all the other tools, as usual. So, maybe swtiching apps (if not tried already) is a hack solution until the Adobe guys fix the bug.

Thanks @simons52710075 that worked for me!

But it's kinda annoying having to use these workarounds, I've been experiencing this problem for more than a month now.

For everybody with this issue, try holding down mouse button for a second and then release when you select transform handle. For me when I do that, the bug never occurs. I know it is not ideal but still better than undoing.
I hope this helps someone.

Regards,

Simon

(Version of the App) Adobe Photoshop 2021 - Version 22.5.1

(Platform and OS version) Desktop PC with Windows 10

(Problem)
When I click (press and release button) on bounding box corner of smart object, photoshop sometimes misses the release part of my mouse click. Consequence of this is that it is stuck in resize mode even when i am not holding the mouse button down. To get out of this mode I need to right click first (but then the object is already resized because I moved my mouse).
I tested this with two different mice and it happens very often, on 10 clicks about 5 are faulty.
What I also noticed is that if I click and hold for a second and then release the problem is gone.
This behavior started sometimes in last month.

(Expected behaviour)

Click on bounding box of object should select that object and not resize.

Any assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you in advance.
Simon

As in the subject. I have to click to free the cursor for changing the resizing point or not moving whole object on artboard. How to disable this future?
