Double Click Speed Very Slow

[Caleb Rodewald]

I have been dealing with this problem for awhile now. The double click time is so slow that I am constantly selecting text and going into layer styles by accident. I have tried to make the double click registration speed faster on my system (On iMac 2019 OS 11), but Photoshop remains independantly and painfully slow. 

Things I have tried:

System double click speed adjustment

Reinstalling Photoshop

A new mouse

Disconnecting my Wacom

Resetting Photoshop preferences

Uninstalling all wacom drivers

Uninstalling Logitech drivers

Quitting background scripts and not allowing them to run

Running no other application but Photoshop

Has anyone encountered this? Is there a way to force Photoshop's double click registration to do something differently since it doesn't listen to system settings? None of my other programs do this, only Photoshop. Has made using it very frustrating and I am tired of living like this.

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about this experience with Photoshop.

As you've already tried multiple troubleshooting steps yourself. Could you please try resetting the preferences of Photoshop and let us know if that helps?

Note: Make sure that you back up all your custom presets, brushes & actions before restoring Photoshop's preferences. https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preset-migration.html

It mostly depends on click speed, If we make a long interval in double-clicking in that case this problem occurs. to check your clicking speed you may have a click speed test at clickspeeder.com/mouse-test/
