Generative Fill -“Reset Bar Position”

I've taken a different approach and pinned my Contextual Task bar to a blank area in my Options bar at the top.

This way it's always out of my way in terms of my image, but accessible as if it were an option above.

I would add on to this suggestion and say that I think you should be able to permanently reset the bar position. Resetting the bar position seems like a great fix until you close the app and open something else youre working on and the bar starts boucing around and getting in the way again. There should be a way to pin the task bar and keep it pinned. 

 

The more simple option, as the latter Support person and I eventually concluded, would be to change the three dot menu option “Reset Bar Position” to a message indicating that the white vertical bar at the left end of the Contextual Task Bar should be used to drag the task bar to the desired position.This would  be clear and unambiguous. Please see the attached screenshot.

I am going to add my support to your suggestion.  As a person who uses Photoshop for several hours most days of the week, and has done so since the first Windows version, I found that using the white bar to drag the CTB far from intuitive, and annoying to home in on by trial and error.  Even knowing where to click to drag, moving the CTB is something I do frequently and I would love a bigger target to grab.  It would be nice to be able to hold down a modifier key or shortcut, and be able to drag the CTB without even clicking directly on it. 

Another idea would be to have an option to change the stand off distance with the CTB unpinned.  The default is much too close and it gets in the way of assessing the area you are working on.

I have taken a different approach to making the CTB more user friendly by using F3 to toggle it on and off.  (I strongly believe that Photoshop's defualt Function key shortcuts are wasted.)
