P: Share Button Blinks Continually (23.4.1)

[RMK25335465r7ek]

I have an issue with a blinking 'share' button (see attached video) and it's driving me nuts. (imac 27", OS Monterey, Photoshop 23.4.1) My solution at the moment is a piece of paper with tape to cover it, but I'm hopeful there will be a better solution for this bug.

Please help!

@Jonathan Sainsbury have you updated to 24.1.1 and does this still happen?

Thank you,

Cory

[CShubert]

@MarkGr1f curious what version of Ps are you runing on those machines, 24.1.1 or something else?

Thank you,

Cory

[Jonathan Sainsbury]

The CC updater says that I updated 4 days ago. 24.1.1 does not appear to be availale. No further option comes up.

[CShubert]

Try logging out of CCD and then back in @Jonathan Sainsbury and see if the 24.1.1 shows.  What type of account do you have, personal or Enterprise or Federated?

Thank you,

Cory

[Jonathan Sainsbury]

Signed out and back in. No change.
Personal account.

[CShubert]

Thank you @Jonathan Sainsbury, Curious if you clicked the "check for updates" link in the upper right and what it returned?

Thank you,

Cory

[Jonathan Sainsbury]

Yes. Clicked the Check For Updates rotating arrows. No result/response.
Have auto-update on as well. Some argue not to do that. But I like to be bleeding edge with updates.

[MarkGr1f]

@CoRe 24.1.1 on both Corey

[Jonathan Sainsbury]

@CShubert   CC allowed me to update to v24.1.1. No change in the blinking Share button and tools.

[johnmchugh]

STILL FLASHING.  Updated to the latest 24.1.1.  Have reset prefs, reinstalled, etc.

And now I seem to no longer be able to enter manual values in the Type palette. 

Ventura 13.01.1

I've been reading this for a few months, standing by for others to uncover a solution, but I've had enough. Same behavior here in spite of all the troubleshooting tips previously mentioned. Disruptive blinking behavior persists with the 24.1.1 update installed 10 days ago on a 16" MacBook Pro M1 Max running macOS Ventura 13.1.

[geoffmeador]

As a follow-up, here's a screen capture. Notice how it also causes the active tool cursor to switch back and forth to a standard cursor. Blinking stops during actual tool use, then resumes when tool is released.

Updating the Photoshop version does nothing.
Resetting the preferences doesn't do anything.
Posting in this forum is useless.
And the blinking drives you insane after two hours of working in Photoshop.
It may be time to take a closer look at Affinity Photo.

[Corinna Ellmer]

It is a problem with RighFont in my case. Closing it, makes the flickering go away.

[Corinna Ellmer]

RightFont.app of course…

[maikworld]

Yes, disable „Auto Activation“ in RightFont preferences stops the blinking.

[Corinna Ellmer]

Yeah!

[CShubert]

Curious if anyone still with this issue has updated to Ps 24.2 and if the issue persists?

Thank you,

Cory

[Jonathan Sainsbury]

v24.2 is not yet available to me.

[maikworld]

Yes it's blinking with PS 24.2.

[CShubert]

@maikworld could you share your system, OS, version, gpu driver and version if possible and Ps version, we are assuming 24.2 since you replied. : ]

Thank you,

Cory
