Hello, I started having a problem with my photoshop recently where when I zoom in or out with my mouse scroll wheel the whole canvas will be shaking. It happened for the first time suddenly while I was drawing a few days ago, I think it happened after I rotated the canvas. I'm not sure if I accidentally pressed some other keys while trying to press the rotation hotkey and if it activated something that would cause this? I somehow fixed it that day, I'm not sure what fixed it exactly. I tried to look up my problem and I couldn't find anything about the same problem, but I saw another zooming problem where I think the person was told to uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" in Preferences>Performance. I did that and restarted photoshop, and then the zooming wasn't shaking anymore but it wasn't a smooth zoom. So I checked "Use Graphics Processor" back on and restarted Photoshop again. When I opened it again I also tried rotating the canvas around again and then back to the normal view and then it was working fine. So I'm not sure if the rotating fixed it somehow or if it was the unchecking and checking of the graphics processor option. Now for the first time today I just opened photoshop and it is immediately having the shaking problem again even though I didn't do anything yet. I tried rotating and unchecking and checking the graphics processor option but they did nothing this time. I did reset preferences on quit, and restarted photoshop and now it is only shaking the canvas when I am zoomed in more closely. So if I zoom in and out but far away its normal, if I zoom in closer it starts shaking and I also noticed that it will flicker something on the screen as well. If I clicked on another window on another monitor, and then use the scroll wheel to zoom on photoshop without clicking on photoshop it zooms normal. But then as soon as I click onto photoshop with the brush tool selected and try to scroll and zoom it starts shaking again. I tried to rotate again and it would zoom normal while I had the rotate tool selected, but shake again when I went back to brush tool. I recorded all of this in the video I uploaded if it works. But after recording the video I noticed that the shaking only happens when I am on the brush tool. Then I noticed that it only shakes with some brushes, which are the ones that have those different brush icons. I am not sure what they are called, they are the types of brushes where the bristles rotate as you rotate the tablet pen for drawing as if it was a real 3d brush. I am using one of those brushes in the video so you can see it. So it must be these brushes that are causing the problem but I'm not sure why or how to fix it.
