Whenever we have more than 1 image open and want to cycle through the open images/tabs it shows a short flicker/ghost of previous image stretch on the screen. This is very annoying to the eyes and has been a persistent issue since PS 24.
I know that we can choose to open documents as tabs and the issue will not appear, but one should be able to use PS with floating images (as working perfectly for 10+ years before).
This is happening on all of our Mac M1's and was also happening on our Mac Pro Intel machines (which we don't have anymore).
I have provided a video showing what it looks like with and without the images as tabs.
So, this has been an issue for me and my team for a good while now. We were hoping it would be fixed with updates, but the problem is not going away. This has been going on ever since PS version 24.
Whenever we have multiple images open at the same time and we ctrl + tab between them to cycle through they go black and we have to "shake" the image to make it appear again. This makes one of the workflows we have of comparing images up against eachother so much harder and time consuming.
Does anybody have a fix/solution to this issue? Anybody else experiencing it?
Thanks a lot for the tip @Kevin Stohlmeyer. This seems to have solved the issue. Will repost after a full day of work next week IF the problem continues. Next time I am going to be asking questions here a lot faster then this time around.

Hey @kevin stohlmeyer it was working for a couple of hours, but there was a new update to PS yesterday that broke this function for us. We have had to turn off the "disable native canvas" because when we open up images now it shows random squares of information all over the image, we have to shake the image to get it off, but it then gives us a lowres preview of the files and we can't zoom smoothly or anything.
When I have multiple images open, the very often goes black when switching between windows. This is pretty horrible when trying to sync colors. It's been like this since at least Photoshop 2022.
The issue is kinda hard to explain so I made a recording of it.
I'm using a dual monitor, so here are some specs if it helps:
Mac Studio 2022
Apple M1 Max
Memory 64GB
macOS Sonoma 14.0 (but the issue has been since a couple of years back)

@KristofferSkj One was posted to bugs with a comment that you couldn't edit and another posted an hour later in discussions. Now that they are merged you can comment/edit away.

Which monitor and what connection are you using? I have actually tried out with only one monitor, but come to think of it only on hdmi. Could be interesting to hear if it occurs via usb c connection.
This issue persist on my macbook air m1 as well so I do belive it has something to do with the M1/M1 Max chip.
Have talked to other people with the M1 Ultra chip who are not affected.
