I just recently updated to Adobe Photoshop CC 2019, and my healing brush tools and clone stamp tool lags when I use it.  I had no prior issues with CC 2018.  What gives?

Jeffrey, Are you sure this is fixed? Mine is still running painfully slowly with the rulers off. I'm working in 16-bit. As I have mentioned before, these bugs seem to happen on every update and are a huge problem for working pros with deadlines.

Thanks for the heads-up and hard work, Jeffrey! I never had a spinning cursor ... why do I miss all of the fun stuff? Could have been like a Photoshop Disco with all that spinning. 

Good luck with the cross-platform issue!

There's two parts to this issue. The Mojave specific part with the spinning cursor and lag is fixed. The part with rulers shown (cross-platform issue) is still being worked on.

What OS/version are you running on?

Thank you, that worked! I was selecting Help>Updates... in Photoshop not realizing that it doesn't automatically sync until you select 'Check for app updates' in the CC app.

I've updated PS to 20.0.2 and the sticking brush stroke is still happening when rulers are visible. Once I hide rulers from the GUI, the problem goes away.

When I paint, I don't have a need for rulers so it's fine. Just wanted to let you all know that even with the latest update the brush/clone lag issue persists.

There will never be a PS as stable as version 7!

How do we update? I'm on 20.0.1 but it doesn't show any updates as being available.

Please update to 20.0.2 and let us know if you're still seeing the lag/spinning cursor while/after brushing. This issue should be fixed in 20.0.2. Thanks for reporting this issue!

The issue where there's a lag with Rulers showing is a separate issue that is still being worked on.
