fullscreen to windowed one click mouse

[foonyresso]

I have an issue with Photoshop. Previously, when switching between screens, I would click once on the top panel of Photoshop to activate it. Now, something has changed—when I click once, it switches from fullscreen mode to windowed mode. Previously, I had to double-click quickly to change the mode, but now a single click is enough.

I thought it might be a new feature in Windows 11, but this behavior doesn't happen with other programs. I would like to disable this function as it is very inconvenient for me.

@foonyresso "I would like to disable this function" that's not a feature in Photoshop, and I'm not seeing the issue with Photoshop version 26.1 on Windows 10

Hi @MrBrunoSantos!

Can you provide more details about this issue? What versions of Photoshop and Windows are you using? Does this happen every time you click or just occasionally?

Thanks a lot!

Sure.
My photoshop version is 26.2 (this happens too on beta versions, and all other versions lol i reinstall every version and this happens too) so... my windows version is Windows 11 Pro for Workstations 24H2 26100.2605

its happens all the time when the photoshop is maximized (no matter how version). I work with 2 monitors, so phoptoshop is maximized on the second monitor and when i use the first monitor and go back to photoshop its natural to click on the title bar (like i always did). So when i click, just one click, nothing more, the photoshop goes out from maximized screen and enter in windowed mode. But its happens in one monitor test too, if i stay with photoshop maximized, working on it, and click on the title bar its maximized off and restored the window.

I gonne attach a screen record.
(I hope you understood me, sorry for my bad english, im brazilian native)

I'm actually seeing the issue on Windows 11 with Photoshop version 26.2

Hi @MrBrunoSantos,

Thanks for the recording! That's definitely strange. Just to cover all bases, are you using a tablet pen by any chance?

Does the double-clicking behavior happen anywhere else, like when using the Selection tool, or is it only when clicking the title bar?

Some users have reported that turning off "Snap Windows" in System > Multitasking helps with this issue. Could you give that a try and see if it works for you?

Thanks!

@Aleke I can confirm that turning off Snap Windows fixes the issue for me 👍

[MrBrunoSantos]

Woooow. Yeah. I turned off the snap option and its works lol. Well... Its definitely a windows issue, maybe they fix in a next update or another one.

The only bad thing is work withou the snap window, but its just activate when i need work and disable when working on Photoshop. Ita better than nothing lol.

Thanks.

If this issue disappear in a future update i will reply this.

Thanks again

Hey @Ged_Traynor and @MrBrunoSantos!

So glad to hear things are up and running again. I know this isn't the best workaround if you frequently use Snap Windows, but fingers crossed for a permanent fix soon. Please keep us posted here or start a new thread if you encounter any more issues. Thank you!

Cheers,

Alek
