Question

Single click of layer opens Layer Styles

This is driving me crazy. The "double tap" to open Layer Styles is too sensitive. When I'm working, I might drag to duplicate a layer, then select it: the Layer Styles dialog opens. I'd say these false positives happen about 30 times during an hour-long working session. That means clicking to close the Layer Styles dialog 30 times. This is very disruptive and annoying. Please, Adobe, add a setting to disable this double-tap behavior.

Same here! I'm on Sequoia 15.1.1 and Photoshop 26.1.0. I did just update SteerMouse, which I use for my KENSINGTON trackball. Ideas? I am convinced I have my own personal Mercury Retrograde floating over my head! Thanks in advance for anything to try.

Hello,

Thank you for the suggestion. I have tried this, but even on the most extreme settings, it's still opening the Layer Styles dialogue. This is ALSO an issue shared by other Photoshop users.

Hi, a double click would be the same all over the app, you can change the speed of double click in system preferences.
