Layers/objects disappear when moving/resizing in Photoshop 22.3.1 on Mac

Frequently, when I move an object, or a text layer, and resize it - it disappears as I am moving it. Sometimes fully, sometimes only partially. If I change my magnification levels up or down, it reappears. But I can't keep having object disappear whenever I move them. I assume this is a grpahics processing issue? How do I solve this?

I've been having this issue for several editions of Photoshop. Happens on BOTH of my machines in different versions and different operating systems.  2021, 2022, 2023, Mac OS X Catalina to Big Sur and Mavericks.  WHY HASN"T IT BEEN FIXED??!?!?!?!!?

Because Adobe suck and are asking for users to switch to another platform, even if it's less featured. I'm having this same issue now on a new build with an AMD card, and nothing I do seems to fix it.

Hi,

 

We're sorry about the trouble with Photoshop 22.3.1. Would you mind telling us which macOS version are you working on?

 

You can try disabling the option to Use Graphics Processor from Photoshop by going to Preferences, then Performance. Once done, quit & relaunch Photoshop to check if that helps. If this helps, please ensure you have all available macOS updates installed on the machine as the graphics drivers are installed along with the macOS updates.

 

You can also try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps mentioned here: https://adobe.ly/2Qzc0K3

Please backup your settings prior to resetting the preferences. You can check: https://adobe.ly/2vNz6FG

 

Let us know how it goes!

Regards,

Nikunj

Toggling the Graphics Processor and restarting did not solve the issue.
