Black vertical areas appear under the panel buttons.

Occasionally, the empty spaces below the panel buttons turn black for some reason. Exiting full-screen mode temporarily fixes the issue, but it reoccurs after some time.

While harmless, it is certainly disconcerting. There isn't a setting in Photoshop that lets you do this on purpose. Most likely there is some issue with rendering this part of the UI. It may arrise from a conflict on the system. Can you send the System Info report from the Help menu? There may be clues in there.

@BrettN Not anymore. I used a free 7-day trial subscription because I was considering switching to Photoshop instead of Affinity Photo, as I was interested in Photoshop's Generative features. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed with it. The quality of its output is very low—it's barely usable. I shared some of my feedback here:

Additionally, I was highly disappointed by how inconsistent the Photoshop interface is. I shared more feedback here:

Since the Generative features output low quality results and the interface is inconsistent and unpleasant to use, I decided to cancel my subscription and return to using Affinity Photo.

I hope you'll learn from your mistakes and fix the aforementioned issues.
