Properties panel not showing Hue/Saturation sliders in Photoshop Beta

[Tom S...]

Hello,

I’m experiencing a recurring bug in the latest version of Photoshop (Beta) on macOS.

When I add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer, the Properties panel does not display the usual Hue, Saturation, and Lightness sliders. Instead, it only shows:

“No mask selected” — even though the white thumbnail (the adjustment layer, not the mask) is properly selected in the Layers panel.

This bug does not happen in the stable version of Photoshop, nor in a different open document within the same session.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open or create a new document

2. Add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer

3. Click the white thumbnail of the adjustment (not the mask)

4. The Properties panel incorrectly shows only mask options (“No mask selected”)

---

System details:

• Photoshop Beta version: 26.6.0

• macOS version: 15.3.2

• Chip: Apple M3 Pro

Since a few updates ago, the properties panel for a Hue/Saturation layer randomly doesn't appear. Only the mask properties appear. I have to close and restart Photoshop to correct this. This happens in both the regular and beta versions. I thought this annoying behavior was so obvious it would be fixed quickly, but it persists to this day.
