Double clicks when single click/double click speed slow

[Caleb Rodewald]

I have been dealing with this problem for awhile now. The double click time is so slow that I am constantly selecting text and going into layer styles by accident. I have tried to make the double click registration speed faster on my system (On Mac OS 11), but Photoshop remains independantly and painfully slow. 

Things I have tried:

System double click speed adjustment

Reinstalling Photoshop

A new mouse

Disconnecting my Wacom

Has anyone encountered this? None of my other programs do this, only Photoshop. Has made using it very frustrating.

If that's a Photoshop problem, please try resetting the preferences: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#reset_preferences

Have tried this, always reverts to the issue after an hour of work 😕

Ever figure this out? It's unbelievably frustrating trying to CMD+click multiple layers, but it opens the layer styles box

@adamedwards this is a pretty old post, I would encourage you to start a new thread with your current specs explaining the issue.
