P: Large transform/resize (accidental) causes hang, crash, out of memory (RAM) or scratch disk

Dragged some library artwork into a photo in Photoshop 23.1.0.

 

It needed to be resized, but it defaults to transform mode as soon as you release the drag.

 

(mis) Clicked on the W percentage and ended up replacing the 100.04% with 1003004.

 

Photoshop hung but then eventually crashed the Mac.

 

In part this is the responsive nature of the transform, it updates after a short delay on entering a different number. Probably needs to have a "sensible" rule attached which says that if the number entered is going to go way beyond the image limits that the auto number interpreter doesn't always trigger the recalculate render step.

Thanks for the report. It's a reasonable request, but probably lower in priority to other issues.
