Scrolling quickly leaves an afterimage

[Michael S Gibbons]

Issue: Quickly scrolling in photoshop causes an afterimage to appear. (faint overlay several pixels off depending on scroll speed)

• Photoshop version: 22.5.1
• OS:  Microsoft Windows 10 Home | Version 10.0.19043 Build 19043

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a large image or zoom until scrollbars appear.
2. Use the scrollbars, or mouse wheel.  Move rapidly either left or right.
3. Depending on scrolling speed an afterimage will appear
4. This afterimage will remain unless a layer is turned on or off or if the scrollbars are very slightly moved.

Expected result:  Normal scrolling within the application.
Actual result: This afterimage scroll issue is a nuisance

Note how scrolling up and down leaves this effect.  ↕

This issue cropped up in the 3-4 weeks, it only appears in Photoshop and no other application.

Let's try and narry down the cause.

1. Go to preferences > Technology Previews... and check "Disable Native Canvas" - then restart Photoshop. Does the problem still occur?
2. If disabling Native Canvas doesn't help, go to Preferences > Performance... and uncheck Use Graphics Processor. Restart Photoshop. If this fixes it, try updating your graphics driver and re-enable Use Graphics Processor.  https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-gpu-graphics-card.html
