Photoshop canvas jittering / size twitching when working on file

[Steven Springsteel]

I'm working on a gaming laptop with an Nvidia graphics card on the latest version of Photoshop.

When working on any given file, I notice that the canvas does a slight, but annoying jitter. Like it zooms in 0.5% and then readjusts to what it originally was.

I see this happen when I'm switching between layers and using the Pen Tool. I thought I resolved this issue by disabling some graphic or experimental features, but it did an auto update and now I can't get it to stop.

I work through it, but the twitching is real annoying and just makes working on the laptop a burden.

Any help or tips would be great. Thanks!

I Discovered the Issue.

The latest version has an option in Preferences > Technology Previews to use the checkbox "Older GPU Mode (Pre 2016)"

It's pretty telling how Adobe's new features are so glitch-prone or non user-friendly that they throw in options to have it behave like older versions.

@Steven Springsteel how old is your GPU, most laptops have dual GPU's that can cause conflicts with Photoshop.

Have a look at sections 6 and 7 in the below link

How many different GPUs and GPU drivers (some of them possibly just not exactly good) do you think are »thrown at« Photoshop globally? 

What programming and testing effort do you think would have to be invested to ascertain that Photoshop handles all of the possible combinations »well« without any user input?
