Fixed: New Path layers break after naming, anchors do not connect in Photoshop 22.3 update

Have just updated from PS 22.2 to 22.3. I have found that when trying to edit existing paths (rather than creating a new one from scratch) there seems to be a bug. If I delete one or more anchor points and pick-up the path again it will not join to new anchor points or close the path. Have had to give up and go back to 22.2.

I wonder if anyone else has experienced the same problem?

Version 2.4.2 has not resolved this issue. I am running Photoshop 2.4.2 on a Windows 10 Pro machine and the Pen tool does not show the anchor points when creating a path.

I guess one dot-release was too optimistic; all in all a bit more than two months does not seem a bad time for a bug-fix.

I have created clipping paths in Photoshop for years and never had a problem. Now, all of the sudden (last update?) when I try to make a path, there is no "path" between the points - they are not connected with a path. What setting do I need to adjust? Thank you!!

Hi there,

It's a known issue and our engineering is working on a fix for the same. In the meantime, you can check this thread for more information on this issue and install a previous version of Photoshop as a workaround: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop/m-anchor-points-on-a-path-don-t-connect-after-the-photoshop-22-3-update/td-p/11884924

Has anyone found a work around besides going back a version in photoshop. I have it happen on a new path too!

How often do I need to write it?

Maintain a Work Path.

That didn't work for me. Even with a work path, the behaviour was crazy.
I returned to the previous version and still working with it.

I have the same problem!! How is it possible to 'break' functionality as important as this?
I can't do paths!!!
I can't believe it...

»I can't do paths!!!«

Does simply keeping a Work Path really overtax you?

It wasn't only that. I couldn't make paths with inner areas and I've lost hours of work trying to find the problem because I thought it was anything I was doing wrong.

Now I've returned to the previous version of Photoshop, but I cannot understand bugs like this one... that was reported in this thread two weeks ago!

After the Photoshop update to version 22.3, the pen tool is not working anymore when I want to create a new path. The pen is creating new anchor points, but no links between the points. It is impossible to create a new path with anchor points connected together.

Hi, I think you are talking about the "rubber band".

Make sure it is checked by clicking on the gear icon when the pen tool is selected: see screenshot

Hi,

Thank you for your answer, but the rubber band is checked and it is not working (see screenshot).

Desde que he instalado la nueva versión de Photoshop la herramienta pluma solo funcionan si hay un trazado de trabajo. En el momento que se borra el trazado de trabajo o se guarda quedando la ventana de trazados libre de ningún trazado de trabajo la pluma pasa a hacer puntos aislados y resulta imposible enlazar un punto con otro.

After the Photoshop (version 22.3.0) is updated, I can't draw any path when I saved the path. I can't work with PS anymore! What's going on???

Hi,

It works as expected on my system. Is it possible to describe your workflow with this particular problem.
