Hello !
I encountred a little (big for me) problem lately after I did the latest photoshop update (Aug 17 23.5)
Here's the thing, when I open a PSD file, any PSD file (or create a new one), the moment edit a text layer or add one with the Type tool, photoshop does a sort of refresh (quick white screen) and a whole lot of the UI changes;
Usually transform boxes are blue with blue handles. Now they're gray dots
Even when I'm working at 25% or 33% zoom there is an anti-aliasing going. Not anymore (althought it's enabled) everything is pixelated once I go below 100%.
Panning used to be smooth, now it's jaggy like a 3 fps paning.
Preference window (Edit > Preference) has now a thick gray border, almost windows 95 or 98 like.
This is about what I noticed so far after the "refresh" happens.
I tried enabling and disabling the GPU accelration thing. Tried to disable and enable the checkboxes in Performance > Advanced Settings. Tried restarting my computer. Nothing worked. Looked up this problem online but I didn't know what to look for, I typed "Gray dotted transform box" the only thing that came up was a thread from 2020 with no working solutions in it.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you.
