Photoshop 23.5.1 REMOVE Share button on Options Bar

[salmak74909712]

For the life of me I cannot get rid of the Share button on the Options bar - it is covering up options when you go into various tools.

You can't make it disappear. But it shouldn't overlap. 

If you disable GPU in preferences, any difference?

[salmak74909712]

That didn't do it, and not really a permanent solution as it disables other features that are heavily used.

[salmak74909712]

Yeah the color isn't the problem. It's overlapping tool options.

[TheDigitalDog]

Preferences > Interface > Neutral Color Mode to adjust the Share button's color.

The issue, if I'm understanding, the OP isn't the color. The issue is it is blocking other UI elements, which it shouldn't do. 

If you alter the display resolution, does this fix the issue? 

You might also need to reset your preferences:

Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) immediately after launching Photoshop. You will be prompted to delete the current settings. You can also reset preferences upon a quit if Photoshop is running by going into General Preferences>General>Reset on Quit.

That looks like a UI bug and there's more overlapping than just the share button. If you dock the Options bar, then you won't have this problem. 

[salmak74909712]

I don't use the application frame, so I can't dock it. I did turn the application frame back on and docked, turned it off and doesn't work.

[Earth Oliver]

@salmak74909712 The Option bar can still be docked without the application frame.

Maybe Adobe could just fix the problem 😉

First, I can't replicate this 'problem', and 2nd, did you try the suggestions provided, or, you're 100% sure it is a bug (that doesn't affect others)?

What do you mean cannot replicate the problem ? Did you try it on high res screens e.g 4K with windows 11 for example. I have the same problem on different computers and it drives me/us made. Please debug it 🙂

[salmak74909712]

I cannot try every single option people have suggested like changing the monitor resolution, but have tried most of them. Others at my company have the same problem both on remote and in-office work stations. Resetting to factory default doesn't change because it seems like it is because the Options bar shrinks when it is undocked and doesn't have enough room for all the options in certain tools, vs the bar being long enough when it is docked.

I work with my options bar at the bottom of my screen or put it on a separate screen to be outside my image area when I am doing detailed work. It is better for my workflow to just work-around the tools that are hidden for now (like access shape dynamics in the brush setting pallette) than dock it up top and change a larger flow.

Then you'll have to find help elsewhere. All we volunteers here can do is make suggestions for you to try to fix the issue that affects you but not many others. 

Good luck. 

[salmak74909712]

It's not on every tool, because most tools don't have that many options. The Healing tools specifically is a problem. Docked Healing tool, Undocked Healing tool.

OK I was unaware Adobe did not pay attention to these boards- where do you post a message regarding bugs to Adobe?

Adobe merged the Feedback forum with the user-to-user forum over a year ago, and they do read these forums.

We can move posts from Discussions to Bugs or Ideas, but because your thread is so long and more information has come out as the thread progressed, it might be best for you to create a new post that includes all of the details. Tag it as a Bug instead of Discussion.

The Photoshop team was the first to merge their feedback and user forums. Most of the other teams still maintain separate forums.

Tag a new post as a bug (if it's a bug) and as importantly in a way the team can investigate it:

From Adobe (community forums):

"Currently, the community on community.adobe.com is used as a destination for customers to ask questions and engage in peer-to-peer conversations. IOW, this is a user to user support forum. The Adobe Support Community is a place to ask questions, find answers, learn from experts, and share your knowledge. Because we are a community used by people of all ages, cultures, and people at work, we carefully moderate its content". 

If you have problems or need answers from other users who volunteer their time to help, do so in a discussion topic and message body, whereby you post specifics (what's the problem or issue, or the question) and provide some information about your operating system, version of the software you're asking about and steps to illustrate your problem.  

If you want Adobe to be viewing what you post, there are two ways based on what you are hoping to report:

If you wish to report what you believe is a bug, you so by following these guidelines:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/how-do-i-write-a-bug-report/idc-p/12932310#M...

If you wish to provide a feature request, you do so by following these guidelines (then make a request in the product forum):

Based on those instructions, I did post this as a bug, not in the discussions board 😉

I'll add I am on Mac Pro 2019 3.5 GHz 8-Core with 96GB ram on Monterey 12.5.1

Your problem is easy to fix and isn't a bug!

It's your display resolution and the FACT you have some tools that don't provide enough space to SEE all the options, as shown below. 

Share button, Perceptual dropdown etc all crammed together because I've selected a tool that has MANY options, and the display is too small (low rez) to fit them: 

Now back to a far better display resolution and nothing else (issue gone):

Nothing else done but setting a fix that you apparently refuse to try. 

NOT a bug! User (settings) error.

Dude I own a company of professional retouchers, we use calibrated Eizos - I can't change the (pretty high res) monitor resolution.

Default (and highest) resolution for display is 1920 x 1200.

[TheDigitalDog]

That's too bad; so much money was spent on an Eizo and only able to set the max at 1920X1200. 😢

Meanwhile, on my SpectraView (which can be driven to 2560x1440), when set LOWER (1920x1080), NO SUCH ISSUE:

You may need help with configuring your displays instead of assuming this is a bug.

We don't see this in your screen capture for some odd reason:

Show ALL resolutions

[Jeff Arola · Accepted solution]

I do have a suggestion that should let you keep your present setup of resolution, photoshop workspace, etc and that is to go to Photoshop>Preferences>Workspace and check Enable Narrow Options Bar then restart photoshop.
