This bug just showed up for me in Photoshop 2023 when I updated to 24.7.4. I don't jump to new versions if the version I am running is working well, mostly because of things like this. Adobe's QC cannot be trusted. Updated on a whim this time, and instantly regretted it. I have no touchpad or tablet attached, just the same mouse I've been using for a couple years.

I did everything that has been suggested here, but it had no noticable effect. Frustrated to find out that updating to 2024 might not even fix the issue.

Hi @gabrielar58077941 Go to Photoshop Preferences/Technology Preview and check “Disable Native Canvas”. Quit and relaunch PS.

Kevin, that feature is only available in the beta version now. I've seen nothing about why this is the case, and it is a real pity because it seemed to fix just about any display related issues. I'll probably sit back and watch as regards this thread, as I have limited Mac experience.

If I had to take a stab at it, I'd be asking if the user has other pointer devices like a trackpad or tablet, and if yes, is the stylus a bit to close or sitting on the tablet, or is something vaguely skin like sitting on the trackpad? Then I'd be thinking about the mouse API.

@Trevor.Dennis according to the team it will be back in an upcoming release.
