Dear Team at Adobe,
I keep encountering this bug/glitch now for months, and finally decided to file a report.
While editing a picture, randomly my Layer Masks keep getting distorted.
I have no idea how the issue can be reproduced, but happens to me once every 2-3 hours at least.
Please see 01.jpg on how the Mask originally looked.
After doing a few things (retouching, tweaking a few adjustement layers), my mask suddenly got distorted. - See 2.jpg.
After hiding and unhiding the layer, the mask again got (differnetly) distorted - See 2.jpg, 3.jpg, 4.jpg, 5.jpg
(Every time I hide/unhide the layer, the distortion changes)
The distortion is visible also on the picture, and the full mask: - See 6.jpg, 7.jpg, how the mask itself changes. - You can see parts of the image, and distorted parts.
(Red "censorship" is applied to make sure its SFW.)
This happened me on previous versions of photoshop too, and both on my OLD PC:
Intel i5-760
16GB RAM
Nvidia GTX 750
Windows 10
And also on my NEW PC:
Intel i7-12700K
64GB RAM
Nvidia RTX 3070
Windows 11
So we can say, its not somethin on my PC, as I had it on both the old and the new, and they are very-very different.
Please look into it.
Hi @NemethR
Go to Preferences > Technology Previews... and check "Disable Native Canvas" - then restart Photoshop. Does the problem still occur?
It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.

You're not alone, I've been seeing this behaviour all the time, too. Since it's happening randomly I thought it would be difficult to replicate (at least for the people here), so I gave up: I close the document and reopen it again.
Beside, I also see that sort of pixelation/distortion while painting the mask (blotchy painting).
My specs are kind of between your two machines (amd 2600x, 1070ti, 64gb ram, win 10).
Glad to hear I'm not alone, though.

Same here even in the version 25.5.1 after deactivating "Native Canvas"
Funny how they are implimenting AI and can't get the very basics right.

LLevo tiempo sufriendo este problema, y otros que nunca habÃa visto desde que empecé a trabajar en photoshop, allá por la versión 4.0, con ordenadores mucho menos potentes que el smartophone más básico. Pensaba que era por seguir trabajando con un mac con procesador intel, pero me encuentro con la sorpresa de que con m2 pro también se producen estos fallos; en funciones básicas como aumentar o reducir el lienzo, con la lupa, o como el caso que se describe aquÃ, problemas graves de visualización de las máscaras, algo básico en el uso de photoshop. Es realmente indignante y frustrante; por primera vez en décadas, me dan ganas de pasarme a linux y trabajar con gimp, o la alternativa a a photoshop que haya.

He de añadir que he resuelto, aparentemente, el problema activando la opción de usar procesador gráfica, en la pestaña rendimiento. Igualmente me parece sonrojantes los problemas que se dan en photoshop en los últimos tiempos.
