(Win10) PS 25.5.0 Quick Zoom bugging

Question

Hi all, So Photoshop used to be very clean regarding quick zoom with the CNTRL + Spacebar feature. I would hold these quick keys to activate a zoom, and would release them to keep working with whatever tool I have been using. But lately, they have been bugging badly- When I press them to apply the zoom, the zoom (first off is more buggy in its motion, not tracking with my tablet pen movement as accurately) will stick in that zoom-tool mode after I have released the CNTRL + Spacebar keys, and will only stop the zoom movement that tracks to my pen movement when I hit ESC or some other command. Does anyone know why this is being buggy? I have this happen regardless of the SpringKey feature is turned on/off, and Windows Ink is turned off as well. Any help would be grealy appreciated!

Hey, @Jonete. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll move this to discussions for now and help you figure this out. Before troubleshooting, update Photoshop to the latest version (v25.5.1) via the Creative Cloud desktop app & check if the issue exists.

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.

Try this:

1 - Apply any pending updates for the Windows OS & the Pen tablet drivers.
2 - Go to Edit > Settings (CTRL + K) > Tools > Disable 'Animated Zoom'.

3 - Go to Edit > Settings (CTRL + K) > Performance > Advanced Settings > Disable 'GPU Compositing' & restart Photoshop.

Check if it helps & let me know how it goes. Thanks!
