@gertl18670298 it's a known bug that was reported in version 26.9 which has yet to be fixed, a workaround is to hide the contextual taskbar

Yes, I wish Adobe would resolve this bug. Very annoying especially when I like to use the contextual task bar.

Hi, I never experienced a bug quite like this one, I don't even know how or why it happened. I was working on my image, resizing some drawing with the transformation tool when I noticed the drawing came out weirdly aliased... Not knowing what the problem was, I thought I had to upgrade... I was in 26.9 and upgraded to 26.11 but the look remained. And then i zoomed out and here is what I saw :

It could go on forever... What happened ??

The image is now saved like that, it's the same thing if i close it and reopen it or if i save it under another name... It doesn't happen on other images, apparently.

Make sure "Pattern Preview" is unchecked under the "View" menu.

Today I've updated my Photoshop (26.11.0, Desktop / Windows 10) and most times whenever I press CTRL and +, it zooms twice. I've also found that if you press  CTRL and +, and then move around the mouse (holding CTRL), it zooms as long as you move the mouse. Extremely strange - has anyone encountered this?

Ok, found a weird solution, but it works: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/p-ps-26-9-erractic-zoom-tool-behavior-with-c...

How does it take forever to fix a so often used hotkey?`

@rtomi if you believe all your users are using photoshop on an ipad, this fix will probably never come

I'm pretty sure the guys at Adobe know that the inmense majority of Photoshop users are using it in a Windows PC.

But still, I upgraded Photoshop just yesterday and the problem is still there despute they said a few weeks ago they were going to fix it soon. Maybe the amount we pay monthly for the right to use Photoshop is not enough.

I'm sure you were being sarcastic, but I want to go on record as saying the price we pay to use this software is highway robbery. Something as integral as keyboard zooming should be at the very top of the list, highest priority to fix. I don't care about what's new. Fix what's old!

[Art of Walls]

Of course I was being sarcastic, @VixVax ! The price is a robbery. I am currently paying a promo price for a year but as soon as the promo ends, It is very likely I will not continue with Adobe.

@Art of Walls I was sure, but just in case Adobe wasn't... 😉
