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

Good evening,
today I had a problem when I tried in photoshop to cut into a photo using the quick selection tool in the sense that when I tried to cut close to the person, a line appeared that crossed the whole photo. I mean, I've never been able to completely select a person. Maybe I'm not well understood but if you give me an email address I will send you a picture or a short video made with the phone so you can see and understand what I'm talking about. I changed the mouse to a new one. Same with the mouse pad but the problem persists. I uninstalled and reinstalled photoshop on PC. Yesterday everything worked fine, and today not without someone else walking to the PC to think that something has gone wrong.
Thanks
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
Problem: When using the following tools (confirmed with Paintbrush, Clone Stamp, Patch Tool, Section Tool), Photoshop Version 21.1.0 will unexpectedly create a false input to an unselected point on the canvas in a rough cone shape. This false input also has an associated history state.
Note: This is NOT related to holding Shift when using tools like the clone stamp.
TL;DR - Photoshop 21.1 has a potentially dangerous bug wherein if the user does not notice the false input, it could potentially ruin the work, costing time, money, etc.
See this bug happen during a live streaming editing session:

(Other stream viewers experienced the same bug independently).
Another example:
Platform: Wacom Intuos 4.0 Medium | Wacom Drivers 6.3.38-2 | Wintab TXT Fix = Active | Windows 10
Solution/Workaround: None found - requesting hotfix.
21.1.0 Currently Unsable because of this bug - too dangerous to trust with professional workflow.
Warning: Back up workspace, preferences, toolbars, etc. before rolling back to a previous version.
Adobe conveniently erases everything in a rollback. SMH
Rant: End-users are not beta testers.
