When applying a gradient fill, Photoshop doesn't show the result til I change the tool back to the arrow tool.

 

Shouldn't it just show the result right away?

Hey, @wagiswagis. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll help you figure this out. 

 

Try using the Gradient Tool (G) to create a Gradient Layer & adjust it with the on-canvas control to see the changes live. You can use the Properties panel to adjust the gradients further. 

 

Let me know if this helps. Thanks!

Sorry,  @Sameer K  I didn't see your reply til now. The issue no longer persists in Photoshop 2025.

 

Thanks!
