M: Every drawing action snaps to upper left hand screen corner

Hi, i need help with a bug.

 

in almost all drawing tools (brush, pen, smudge, copy, eraser, etc...) , after i click and drag a little to draw something, the tool will snap to the upper left hand corner of the screen space.

 

- this is the uptodate version of creative cloud photoshop in Germany

- I tried resetting Photoshop to defaults (CTRL-SHIFT-ALT-Start)

- I tried resetting all tools to default via tool palette

- i tried resetting all brushes to defaults

- i tried restarting computer

- i tried disabling all other programms running (autohotkey, browser, mail-programs)

 

Hints are:

- if in brush i turn up "Smoothing (Glättung)" to something higher than 0% then the bug will not occur.

- the bug will only occur if a click-and-drag. Doing just clicks, it won't jump to the corner

- not all tools have a smoothing-% setting, and those tools i can't get to work.

 

Please help.

 

kind regards,

Stephan Möbius

Hi all,

 

Several folks over on our feedback forum have reported that last night's 21.1.1 update has resolved this for them.

 

For anybody still seeing this, can you;

  • Update to 21.1.1
  • Let us know which version of Windows you're using and if the update fixes this for you?

 

Thanks & regards,

Pete

Hallo,

ich wollte eben meinen Kopierstempel bei PhotoShop verwenden. Normalerweise drückt man di "Alt" Taste für den Bereich den man kopieren möchte und kopiert/stempelt den Bereich den man weg haben möchte.

Wenn ich das jetzt allerdings mache, wird viel mehr kopiert und auch ein bereich den ich gar nicht ausgewählt habe.

Kann mir jemand bei diesem Problem helfen?

Vielen Dank vobar!

The »additional« content is not just being displayed but really applied when you click? 

Could you please post screenshots including the pertinent Panels (Layers, Options, Clone Source, …) to illustrate the issue?

I've just updated to this today. I now get random behaviour while using the polygon select tool and clone stamping. My selections shoot off to the right (at an angle). Never seen this behaviour before! Any ideas?

Hi

Not having the issue here with Photoshop version 21.1.0 on Windows 10,

Try resetting the Tools

If that doesn't help try doing a preferences reset, you may want to backup your custom settings before hand

Migrate presets, actions, and settings
