Handtool issue

Before :
If I click the spacebar and click and hold the left mouse button, I can move the canvas. If I release the left mouse button, the canvas stops moving and i can select the next point to move the canvas.
Now (probably after an update):
If I click the spacebar and click and hold down the left mouse button, I can move the canvas. Now, if I release the left mouse button, the canvas often still moves (sticky). This is very random. I then have to click again so the canvas stop moving. It costs me a lot of annoyance and extra time for editing.

I made a video to clarify the issue.

 

Is it a bug?

I already report this, last year(2022). Yes its bug.
https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/sometimes-space-bar-is-retained-have-to-one-more-press/m-p/13093057

But maybe Adobe didn't think it was a bug, some arbitrators moved my bug reporting post to the Discussions tab and didn't get noticed.

The solution is to press the space bar one more time.
That's all.

I tried the original keyboard, bought a new one, tried my team members' keyboards and tested each other, but all Windows 10 computers got that bug. It's not a keyboard problem.


A stable version where this definitely doesn't happen is Photoshop in 2021. A bug from the early version of 2022.

Thanks for the quick response.

Unfortunately, this setting did not fix it. The problem seems to get worse the longer I work in photoshop. Thus, when I have edited more photos. When photoshop has just been opened, it takes a while before this problem occurs.
