Photoshop randomly disables instruments and functions

[romakrivenko]

After updating to 23.0 Photoshop interface may suddenly stop responding completely or partly. E.g. hand tool may become disabled for a few minutes, sometimes you can call the save screen and buttons do not respond, or transform tool shows complete ignorance to user commands.

This is not a hardware issue or anything else, no beachballs or any signs of not responding app are shown. Other tools are working, I can open or create new documents etc. And it is not only Mac or M1 or MacOS problem, colleagues reported the same strange behaviour on their Windows machines.

I don't know how to reproduce the bug and I don't use Photoshop much, just one or two times a week. But most of the time I may catch this bug when opening or creating new file and start working with it for a few seconds.

Go to Preferences > Tools... and uncheck "Enable Flick Panning" off. Does the problem go away?

Thank you Jeffrey. Unchecked the tool. As far as I don't know exactley how to reproduce the bug, I'll just continue using Ps for a week or so and see how it goes then report here.

And here we go again, hand tool doesn't work this time. Tried to enable and the disable the Flick Pannind - no luck. The only option is to reboot.

Did you update to 24.1 release that came out yesterday?

No, I didn't. Using 24.0.1 for now.
