P: Photoshop 26.8 & later: Gradient style menu in Shape Stroke Properites not scaled correctly

This is what the gradient style selector looks like when a gradient is applied to a shape layer's stroke. It appears very wide and with options overlapping each other vertically. The same selector for gradients on a shape's fill appears normal. This also appears this way when it's accessed through the control bar when the Shape tool is selected.

 

This is on Photoshop 26.8.0 on Windows.

    Hi @Wabber_HM, Thanks for reaching out to the Photoshop Community Forums! Let's try to figure this out by testing out a few things:

    1. Resetting Photoshop Preferences: Meanwhile, you can try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps mentioned here:  https://adobe.ly/4jmvs7u. Please back up your settings before resetting the preferences. You can check:  https://adobe.ly/3YW1WOu

    2. Adjust UI scaling: Under Preferences > Interface, see if it affects the dropdown rendering.

    3. Test different display scaling settings: In Windows (e.g., 100%, 125%), check if the issue is resolution-related.

    Let me know if none of these work, and we can continue troubleshooting the issue. I hope this helps! ^CH

    Hello. Sorry for the super-late follow-up, but I finally got to test this out some more. On two other computers and different screen resolutions, this continued to be a problem. I also tried it on a display with scaling enabled and the same issue persists.

    Hey, @Wabber_HM. Please update to the latest version of Photoshop via the Creative Cloud desktop app, and this should be fixed. 

     

     

    Thanks!
