Layer Selection Issue and Performance Lag in Photoshop

[Emir_Haskan7655]

Hi,

I'm having an issue in Photoshop regarding how layer selection looks and how the app performs.

When I select a layer, the borders should normally appear blue and solid. But on my system, they appear gray and dashed, and this also causes lag.

The issue behaves like this:

The first document or tab I open works fine. The selected layer border appears blue and there is no lag.

But when I open a second document or tab, the selection border appears gray and dashed, and Photoshop starts lagging.

This happens every time.

Additional info:

I have updated my GPU drivers to the latest version.

I tested this with two different versions of Photoshop. The same problem occurs in both.

The "Use Graphics Processor" option is enabled in Preferences.

I have attached screenshots and videos to show the difference between the first and second tabs.

Please help me understand if this is a known issue or a compatibility problem.

Thanks,

HASKAN

So you have enabled Show Transform Controls in the Options bar, an option that appears when the Move tool is active, correct? Which version of Photoshop are you using? I cannot replicate this on my end while running Photoshop 26.4.1 with three open documents. Could you record a short video or take a screenshot of the entire window with the Layers panel expanded and visible?

I have updated to version 26.4.1 and the issue still persists. The "Show Transform Controls" checkbox is enabled, and the Move Tool is active, but I'm still experiencing the same problem.

The "Show Transform Controls" checkbox is enabled

Didn’t you want to disable it in order to not have the transformation box displayed?

I have tested with and without it selected
