P: Rotation tool on Wacom Tablet ExpressKeys stays selected, press-and-hold function disappeared

[konstantinv13834386]

Since version 23.1 the Rotation tool have an issue.

Since ever, the rotation tool is set on one of my tablet's ExpressKeys.
Usually it's activated by pressing and holding the key, when I release the key it automatically switches back to whatever other tool I was using before (as it should be).
But since the latest update it stays selected if pressed touched ones and I'm forced to manually switch back to another tool (such as the brush for example).
I'm a professional illustrator and this is extremely annoying and slows down my workflow a lot.

I already set the rotation tool to another ExpressKey but also there it has the same issue.

It's definitely a timig issue.

If a keep holding the Z key for a few moments after I've zoomed in, it goes back to the previous tool (so it works fine).

I created the PSUserConfig.txt and added "sprk 200", and now it seems to be behaving normally.

Thanks!

Btw the document size did not affect this issue.

More info on this workaround if you're curious:
sprk (SPRing-loaded Keyboard-shortcut) and the value is in milliseconds. So "sprk 200" is 200ms of holding the key down to trigger it as a spring-loaded keyboard shortcut.  If you increase the number, say to 1000ms, then you will need to hold the key down longer (more than 1000ms) in order to return to the previous tool.  Hope that makes sense and is helpful.

Hi,

Pan and zoom is not working properly, enable flick panning  is unchecked. The normal zoom works fine with the mouse. But I am working with a wacom one tablet and pen, pan and zoom freezes its starts lagging. Its very annoying. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Habe das gleiche Problem bei allen meinen drei PC'S. In verschiedenen Foren beschreiben viele User dieses Problem. Anscheinend hat mal wieder Adobe einen Pfusch beim Update gemacht, wie leider sehr oft. Aber anstatt darauf zu reagieren müssen wohl wieder ewig auf eine Lösung warten. Beim Adobe Chat kommen nur die üblichen Tipps mit denen gar nichts erreicht wird, als ob diese Mitarbeiter keine Ahnung hatten. Naja, schauen wir mal!

I´m still having issues. After the update it was gone for a couple of days, then it returned. 
Yesterday my I got a call from my colleague (homeoffice) and she got the problem, too. Updated when the update came out, experiencing the problem since 3 days. Same config, PS CC22, Mac Pro (late 2013).
