New PS 2022 - slow, laggy zoom

[defaultco8jc4pv2fjl]

Well known bug from older versions, as you can see Adobe can't fix it again. New photoshop 23.0 on pc causes zoom to not run smoothly. Cleaning settings, deleting presets and changes in the use of GPU acceleration do not help. The older version (22.5) works great. Any ideas how to restore smooth zoom?

Hello, some users reported that unchecking "animated zoom"  in Edit/Preferences/Tools helped.

Others had to disable "flick panning"

This fixed it for me.

Still comes back after couple days

Turning off Rulers & Grids fixed it somehow, at least for now.

Hi!

Do you have Enable Native Canvas Rulers checked in the preferences/Technology Previews? What is your GPU and its driver version?

I've been having the same lag issues too, and after trying to find an answer and reading yours, turning off Rulers & Grids removed a substantial chunk of it.

Quite odd to say the least.

Update to 23.2.2 - fixes this issue with Rulers shown causing a lag.

I'm having the same problems. After doing all that was suggested and restarting the program, now I can't open a document. The program froze.

My question is, why do we have to turn off rulers, animated zoom, ect to get the program to work properly. I prefer these features. This is the first time I've ever been unhappy with the new version of Photoshop. I'm on the verge of uninstalling it and using the 2021 version.
