The window for selecting text weight is blinking. Photoshop

Could you please explain why it might be blinking like in the video? It starts blinking specifically in the layers area and only in this mode. If I choose the text weight by other means, this issue doesn't occur. What could be the cause of this?

Hey, @Olena_Hlushok0514. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll help you figure this out. Please share the system info from Photoshop Help > System info > Copy & paste into a text document > upload & attach here.

 

I'll move this to discussions for now. Does the error appear when you open a specific font? 

 

In this case, you can begin by resetting the Type tool itself. Right-click on the Tool icon in the Toolbar menu and select Reset Tool.

If this does not help, ensure no stale preferences in your Photoshop. Go to the location of the preference folder below and rename it to backup.

  • Windows 10/11: Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop [version]/Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings
  • You can press Press the Windows key > Enter 'Run' > Enter %APPDATA%\Adobe
  • Rename the Adobe Photoshop folder by adding a .old at the end. (Adobe Photoshop 2024 > Rename > Adobe Photoshop 2024. old), you can later restore these preferences if needed.(https://adobe.ly/4860qM9)
  • Restart the computer.

These changes will give a fresh start to Photoshop as a fresh install. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks!

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Graphic Processor Settings) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

Thanks, so far the problem seems to be solved, if it happens again I'll try disabling it
