P: Docking icons for extension panels, plugins, and the Adobe Plugins panel missing on Windows 10

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

The title pretty much says it all.  Installed 22.4 on Windows 10 today, and all the docking icons for third-party extension panels, plugins, and even Adobe's own Plugins panel are missing.  Totally blank.  The plugins listed inside the Adobe's plugins panel have their corresponding icons, but the docking icons for when these items are in a panel dock are gone.  The docking icon for the Adobe Color Theme's panel is also missing.  There may be others.  I've not checked every Adobe panel.  An icon-less panel dock is not very useful.

Hi Everyone,

This is very interesting.  On May 14th, I updated my iMac to Photoshop 22.4 from 22.3, and as I mention before I still have my icons.  Today, May 18th, I got another Creative Cloud notice of an Update to Photoshop, but it's the same 22.4.  Not 22.4.1, but 22.4.  I did not Update again in fear I'd loose my icons.  Something very weird is going on with this update.  I really feel for you Windows folks.  This has to be madding for you.

@JeffreyTranberry,

"Enginneering" doesn't appear to "use" Photoshop in Windows 10... lol

I updated to 22.4.1 today and was hoping this would be a fix, but unfortunately the issue is still present. Glad it's being looked into though.

[SCLAPHAM]

Same for me, 22.4.1 does not resolve issue, hope they role out another update today.

[Daniel Presedo]

We have a fix for this issue in (boiler plate) a future update.

[SCLAPHAM]

How long until roll out?

[Daniel Presedo]

Thats why I added the  ... (boiler plate)...  

I can not literally say when only "a future update."

[Daniel Presedo]

Thank you for reporting the issue,

This issue has been addressed and will be available in an a future update. 

[RosaPerry]

I was excited, thinking that 22.4.1 would fix the issue but alas no!

The engineers really stuffed this issue for sure! Why fiddle with something that's not broken?

[RosaPerry]

Oh dear! What did the engineers do to stuff this up? Obviously they did not check Windows platform before updating to 22.4?

[www.joeripeeters.com]

22.4.1 still does not fix the bug.

rollback to 22.3

I had the same problem when I upgraded to version 22.4, so I downgraded to the previous version. Today I upgraded to version 22.4.1 thinking it had been fixed, but the problem is still there. I downgraded back to version 22.3.1.

Same here. 22.4.1 on Win10 and the problem is still there. Had to move back to 22.2.0.183 version, as that is the most stable release for me lately.

Just got the Photoshop update v22.4.1 and it still does not load the docking icons. Maybe the next update?

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

I have the same problem after update to PS 22.4.0 -- Windows 10 --

[calvind98526149]

I too have this issue, but won't comment further as it is well covered by other here.

Hi,  What do you mean by that ("automated test cases")? Do you mean that, perhaps, they should have Win 10 (and legacy Win) beta testers and colleagues who try out the software before pushing out an update?

[garry2306]

I keep looking to see if Adobe have provided an acknowledgement of the issue and, critically, a statement regarding a fix. 

But I see nothing 😞

[MRM5C70]

I got the same blank icon for Libraries panel when docking to small icon.. Version: 22.4; Windows 10 Pro

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Pretty poor mistake out of your engineers and testers to allow a version go out that has lost the icons like this. It can't have been well tested. Not a good sign

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Just updated to 22.4.1 and the issue has not been fixed, kinda disappointing that something so broken and visible to so many people on Windows 10 is still not fixed.

[Fotomaker01RA]

Dearest Peter,  I have been a, as you call it (in quotes), "beta tester" for close to 7 years for one of the leading companies of 3rd party plugins to Ps. And, have ID'd more than a fair number of bugs (that slipped thru automated testing...) & influenced new product feature additions during that ongoing run. I was also an invited user (by Adobe) who participated in sessions to help influence/react to the re-design of ACR. I have a solid understanding of how s/w dev & beta testing of software is handled (& sometimes ignored in spite of tester group inputs...). My beta testing tenure is coupled with a telecom & datacom background - including CTO, product mgt, etc. - (the books & articles I've authored are out of print by now, I'd guess!!!).  That said, I greatly appreciate you taking the time to prep the condescending (mansplaining?) reply to share your opinions .... Have a great day.

BTW, are you the Peter who sells organic teas?

>> "I can not literally say when only "a future update.""

It's a bug and a bug fix has to been rolled out as soon as possible. This is the only way to restore confidence that the latest updates have been wasted. The latest updates to Photoshop have been a tragedy. Bugs over bugs. 

Please to a better testing before roll out!!!
