Gradient layer style move bug?

[yonore]

Is anyone else experiencing the following,

normaly when applying the gradient layer style, you can move the gradient around, which for me works if I don't change the colour. However, if I apply a gradient layer style, change the colour (of course from the layer style menu, I'm entering the gradient editor, changing colour and pressing ok) I can longer move the gradient around unless, I press ok to exit the layer style menu, then entering the layer style menu once again, I can then move the gradient around as I please. This happens every time I change the colour of the gradient.

Prevously, I could move the gradient style around regardless if I changed the color, never having to exit gradient layer style menu and then re-entering to able to move the gradient.

A tiny little issue I found about 6 months ago (maybe more), I thought it would just be fixed in one of the patches but hasn't yet.

I'm not experiencing that. You could try resetting preferences. https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html

Thank you for the tip, unfortunatly, I did try this method already and it did fix a problem I was having generating a normal map but did not resolve the issue described.

You could try an uninstall/reinstall using the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool. https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

Thank you for the new method to try to help solve the issue, I followed the instructions step by step, uninstalled adobe createive cloud, all the apps and did the steps I was suppose to.

All that and I still have the same issue, any other ideas?

So very thankful for your time and effort

Has this issue been discovered for anyone else? Is there any place I can send diagnostic report or something, I know its not a huge issue, its just convenient.

Cheers!

I have the same issue. It's not that big of a deal, but it is kind of anoying. Did you find any solution for it ?

[yonore]

It is annoying agreed! unfortunately, this has not been resolved for me and I continue to have to deal with this annoyance in my workflow

I've suddenly begun to have this issue as well. It's not a serious as some other bugs, but it is rather annoying when it worked fine in previous versions. I donno how the coders keep up with everything - glad it's them and not me. I'd have broken Ps if I was putzing around with the code all the time.

I have the same issue. On a Mac, if you leave Photoshop then come back it starts to work again. –Cheers

Same problem here.

To me it also happens when I add a gradient style to a layer, I can move it until I change something, then I must exit the dialogue box and open it again to be able to move it. I'ts a little bug yes, but still is quite annoying to find something that have always worked suddenly stop working properly.

My specs:

Macbook Pro 2017, 2,9 Ghz, 16Gb RAM

MacOS - Big Sur - 11.4 

Creative Cloud updated 5.4.5.550

This problem still exists.  I watched a YouTube video that was a few years old where the presenter said it was a bug in Photoshop, but I guess it has never been addressed.  Not a tremendous problem, but annoying for sure.
