Zooming past 50% causes severe visual glitches (colored blocks/lines/grids). Started ~10 weeks ago after an update. Affects multiple files with similar content. Older Photoshop versions work perfectly fine

    Bug Report: Severe Visual Artifacts and Glitches When Zooming Beyond 50%

     

    Overview

    When zooming into a document past 50%, Photoshop displays major visual rendering glitches, including random solid colored blocks (e.g., bright yellow patches), corrupted textures/lines, and unexpected transparency grids cutting through the picture. Switching or using a tool sometimes forces a redraw that clears the glitches, but most of the time they persist.

    This issue started occurring a few weeks ago. Previously, everything worked perfectly. The issue does not happen on older versions of Photoshop, which I am currently forced to use as a workaround. This affects multiple different files with similar graphic content.
