Drop Down Menus in Photoshop CS 6 Goes Blank In Mavericks

Hi

I'm having trouble with Photoshop CS6 in Mavericks. After a working a little while, all pop up/drop down menus goes blank. They still work, but I can't see what's on them. Even the Apple menu bar is afflicted by this, though only when Photoshop is in the front.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.  PS: I do use a cintiq on a 2012 Macbook Pro 15" with retina display.

Hi Grenderer,

If the work-around does not work for you, can you perform the following test.

After you install the plug-in and launch Photoshop, then look in:

- the OSX console. You should see a message such as

     WhiteWindowWorkaround Initialized

- From within Photoshop, you can choose "Help > System Info". In the resulting dialog, you should be able to see the WhiteWindowWorkaround plug-in and it should be listed in the "Optional and third party plug-ins" similar to the following:

     "Optional and third party plug-ins:

      WhiteWindowWorkaround 1.0.4, Copyright 2013-2014 - from the file “WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin”

If both of these tests pass, then something else is going on.

In general, be aware that in the end the right fix will not come from Adobe, as we don't own the code that seems to be inducing the failure. We can therefore not speculate on when the official fix will be available. When I become aware that the right fix is available, then I will update this thread


It looks like the plug-in fails to initialize on certain Photoshop installations. This should be fixed in:

    http://www.bache.name/download/osx/WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin1_0_5.zip

If the plug-in is properly installed, then you should see something  similar to the following in the OSX console after launching Photoshop:

     Adobe Photoshop CC[14728]: WhiteWindowWorkaround Initialized

You can see the OSX console by going to “Utilities” from Finder, and then running the Console application.

I've been following this thread (and posted earlier) to see if anyone comes up with a solution, as I'm kinda blank on how to provide all the information you've request (error logs and so on). However, I also thought I solved the problem by upgrading my Wacom Intuos 5 driver, which is 6.3.6-4 now, as I was able to work for a little while without any errors yesterday. Now, it happened again however. It happens every time I use the dodge/burn tools. It might happen after just opening one photo since the last restart, and it might happen after a few photos (but whenever I use dodge/burn it happens almost immediatly).

Alright, it's been two days of not experiencing the blank menu problems.  This is very positive. 

After contacting Wacom here is the following advice I received from a technician that helped me:

Open your Applications folder and locate any Tablet or Wacom Tablet folders you have
Use the Utility in each of these folders and click ‘Remove’ under ‘Tablet Software’
Once the software is removed, restart the computer
After restarting, download and install the latest driver from:
http://cdn.wacom.com/u/drivers/mac/pro/WacomTablet_6.3.7-3.dmg

Easy enough.

However, I am STILL experiencing several issues related to Mavericks although they may not be related to the

same blank menu issue.  I only list these here in case there is some correlation to the blank menu problems:

1.  Photoshop will stall when using the brush tool.  This occurs constantly and only since updating to Mavericks.  I have to click off the canvas with my stylus to free up the brush again.

2.  When I go home, I use the same laptop with a different additional monitor set up and an Intuos 3 tablet.  For some reason, it will no longer recognize the Tablet driver and I will have to reinstall the driver all over again to get it to work.

3.  This may not be a wacom issue, but the polygonal lasso tool will blank out and not show the selection every time I use it.  This is another issue that's popped up since installing Mavericks.

I know this is a lot of information, but I thought it would be best to be thurough.

Hi Michael,

I had another customer with issue 3 that worked with over connect. We restored his preferences and that issue went away.

Could you please try that as well and see if it has an affect on 1 as well?

For #2 I would stay in touch with Wacom. Not sure what would be causing that (other than maybe a bad user account/permissions issue). I would look at installing the driver from a new user account and running PS and the new driver from the user account as well.

I upgraded my Wacom drivers and still have the issue.  In this case I was using mostly the spunge, healing & spot healing brush tools.  I may have been editing for 5 minutes max.  Its gonna be a long week.

I know it may be too soon to report a success, however, yesterday I had no 'blank menu issues' at all. 

I worked in Photoshop for 10 hours.

About a week ago I had installed the 6.3.7-3 (10.6x - 10.9x) driver on my computer.  This was in response to the blank menu problems I was having, but had no success. 

1.  I still incurred the blank menus

2.  I was unable to access my wacom preferences inside system prefs (?)

3.  My computer would no longer recognize my older Intuos 3 tablet

Yesterday morning, I had resinstalled the exact same driver 6.3.7-3 (10.6x - 10.9x) and the problem did not occur for 10 hours.  I was also able to access my wacom preferences and my computer recognized my Intuos 3 tablet. 

I will update as I go on my progress, since I know how much of a major hinderance this problem can be.

I'm running Mavericks and Photoshop CS5, downloading the latest Wacom drivers for my Intous 4 seems to be working so far, I'll report back here if the menus go blank again.

I have reinstalled the wacom driver as suggested.  I can now access my wacom preferences under system prefs.  Also, my intuos 3 is finally showing up and working correctly, as well.

I will keep you posted on whether or not this fixes the blank menu bug.

Thanks for the help thus far Jeffrey,

I have the same issue with white menus. Recently upgraded to Mavericks. Happens after I've been working on just one image, so I have to guess where to press, to save it, and then restart PS. This is incredibly annoying and time consuming. Have you found a solution yet? I have Wacom tablet as well as many of you guys. I don't have any third party plugins in Photoshop, but I have third party installations on my macbook pro.

So far we do not have a reproducible test case. I see that you are using a Wacom tablet. Have to updated your Wacom driver to the latest version? (http://us.wacom.com/en/support/drivers)

I am having the same issue. The menus go white and when I went to slide the opacity the spunge icon appeared instead of the percentage.  This has only been happening since upgrading to mavericks.

Using CS6 PS with Wacom tablet.  Restarting PS solves the issue short term.  I am not connected to any other servers.

All right, it happened on our third iMac today, so on a total of three computers. Here's a detailed screen recording (view on 1080p to see everything) showing the menu bug, the cursor bug, and some other glitches. I also show the Applications folder and the System Preferences panel to show you what's installed on the system.

Here's what I was doing before it happened: I opened Photoshop at 9 am and started working on large, multi-layered, 2-3 GB PSB files, editing the contents of smart objects using various tools. I do this every day. The bug happened all of a sudden at 12:15 pm. I quit Photoshop and reopened it, it's all back to normal for now.

I have the latest Wacom driver installed, version 6.3.7-3, just in case someone's wondering.

Here are some Console messages from around that time (many many many of these repeat over pages, especially the first one, so I'm only pasting in everything that seems relevant once):

Thank you for this video.

When the problem occurs can you try the following two things:

- Drag a panel out of a group & see if the dragged panel is a white surface or has the expected look

- Right click on the document tab to get the popup menu that contains "Reveal in Finder". Does this menu show?

I also have this problem. To answer your questions...

- Right click brings up the menu - but it is also white

- dragging a panel out - it is a white box but the image i'm working on does show ok within it.

I have disabled all plugins etc, reinstalled photoshop cc and it still doesn't work.

So far we only have 2 reports of this, and we haven't seen it on any of our systems with MacOS 10.9 installed.

Our best guess is a third party system extension or plugin causing interference with menu drawing.

We are also having this issue with our two brand new 27 inch iMacs (not Haswell but the previous model) in our photography studio. We're running recent installs of Photoshop CC and since the computers are only used for Photoshop, the only thing we installed on them was Photoshop, Bridge, and nothing else except the driver for our Wacom Intuos 4 tablets. The issue started happening today on both computers, right after installing Mavericks this morning. It never happened before.

So far, the issue happened once on each of two computers over the course of 6 hours of continuous work.

The issue is solved when quitting Photoshop and reopening it, however, when having many unsaved files open, it becomes almost impossible to save them as the menu and dialog boxes are all blank. So it inderectly leads to lost data.

Here's the system info from one of the computers:

Thanks for posting these images.

Yes the CGSLockWindow failure is interesting. What kinds of tasks are you doing in Photoshop before this happens?


I mostly use the brush tool, eraser and selection tools. There seem to happen more when selection and the color picker are used, but it is still to random to say. The color picker do "stutter" for a split second when you open it, though.

And what's the deal with smb?
