Direct Selection Tool no longer edits shape in Photoshop 2021?

Hi,

Wondering if anyone else has this issue but since updating to Photoshop 2021 whenever I create a shape such as a rectangle using the rectangle tool and then use the direct selection tool to select a few corners (using shift), whenever I then use the cursor keys, rather than change the shape of the rectangle it just moves the entire shape on the canvas. 

 

Does anyone else have this issue or have I got a setting messed up somewhere?

 

Many thanks,

Rob.

Can I suggest you contact Adobe support through the chat function on the help page? If enough people make a noise, maybe they will listen.

The corners of a vector rectangle now have 2 points each. Is that the "rounded corners" issue? Or is Adobe overcomplicating things again?!?

Yes, they fixed that. But still I can't draw a line with a Line Tool. And yes, every new update since 2019 is a disappointment.

Hey all

 

Am I the only one who experiences this bug again in Photoshop 22.1.0?
Additionally I can't draw a line with a Line Tool, as LouisDesign mentioned (I didn't notice that before).

 

Adobe, did you do it again? Really?

When I upgraded to 22.1.0, the red brush tip preview no longer worked which was a deal breaker for me. I immediatnely reverted back to the 2020 version and am happy with the choice. No more isses with the Line Tool, editing point shapes, or brush tip missing. Adobe has pushed really hard for the past couple of years especially to create a program that works for both desktops & tablet users, and I feel this has continually made the desktop experience worse with each update.

This is also the same reason I don't buy video games right off the bat.  There's always, inevitably, bugs of some kind.

Best to not update for at least a few months after launch until ALL the bugs are worked out.

 

Sadly, this is VERY frustrating to find out when you have deadlines and all of a sudden a much used feature stops working the way it's supposed to.

This is really really frustrating when you get down to it.

Direct Select tool is a basic, staple tool, I use day in and day out in my workflow, and now... (crickets)

 

Very disappointed Adobe.   Very disappointed.

It's just unbelievable!

 

You did it again, Adobe. In Photoshop 22.4.2 the issue is back!

You ask the community to be kind and respectful while you spit right in our faces...
