P: "New Window" of a document doesn't update anymore after the latest PS update

[Sergey Kritskiy]

I constantly use a second window for opened documents (Window > Arrange > New Window), after the recent update (25.11) the second window doesn't seem to update properly. Usually it updates after each brush stroke (with some little delay), currently it doesn't update unless I click on the second window, hit Undo or change some layer visibility (the first video). The second video is from 24.7.4, the second window updates properly.

PS version 25.11.0, Windows 10 Pro, AMD Ryzen 7, 64Gb, 2080S. Use Graphic Processor, Multithread Compositing, GPU compositing are on. Tried to turn them off to.

Known issue. Use the Navigator window as a workaround.

ah thanks.

Can we get an ETA of when this bug will be fixed? I'm sure there must be a release schedule and I'd like to know when to expect a fix in for this. I'm working on a project with a deadline of a couple months that requires a lot of small detailing and not having a zoomed out preview is making life hard.

Using navigator is not a satisfactory solution to this as it floats on top always, has to be massive on screen and you can't crop the window to control which part of the image it's showing

I'd like to know too. This bug is over a month old and nothing has been done yet it seems. If anyone knows the web space dedicated to the state of bugs I'd love to know. Blender has this and it's very useful to stay up to date on bug status. 

I agree that the navigator is not a viable solution or workaround. I always have my second window flipped horizontally to check illustration perspective and such, and this doesn't seem possible with the navigator (I may be missing something).

Issue looks to be fixed as of update 25.10.0

[John38791091k8rn]

Oops, I meant 25.12.0

[defaultp7ylt6pwp9p6]

Yeah I tested it after the latest update as well, and it seems to work just as before now. Nice one!

Can't wait until this is fixed! I depend on having that second window while doing pixel art. Navigator doesn't scale properly with pixels and I can't stand the outline of the window. Just piling on to say please update this! Thanks!

Update your PS, I believe it's all sorted now 🙂
