I used it for about an hour yesterday,  mostly with a Wacom tablet and pen. Had no problems, even when I tried to get it to stick by holding the space bar down and quickly panning the image around.  Before I had to move it rather slowly,  and release the space bar before relocating the pen. So, looks good. I'll be doing much more work next week.  I'll let you know if I have any problems.  ... View more

I suggested this once before. But why can't you go visit a couple of people that are having this problem, so you can see it first hand, in a real world setting? Surely Adobe can afford some travel expenses. I'm also quite sure that there are a lot of people that would be glad to have you come and run whatever tests you wanted on their machine. Now, here is what happens on my Cyberpowerpc computer, running windows 10. I open an image in PS. It doesn't matter what kind of image, or it's file size. Change to full screen, of leave it in a window. Doesn't matter. Zoom in, so image is much bigger than screen. Press and hold space bar, left click and move image. Before, I could release mouse button while continuing to hold space bar, move curser, left click again, and repeat as needed to move anywhere on the image. But now, sometimes right away, sometimes after a couple of clicks, the hand tool will not release when I let go of the mouse. I must hit the left click 2 or 3 times to release it. Or recently I have noticed it will usually release it if I hit the space bar a couple of times. If I am very careful to release the space bar first, then release the left click, it will always release the hand tool. Now with my Wacom tablet, used to be I could hold space bar, raise pen slightly, move to another spot, place pen on tablet, drag image. Repeat as needed. Now I have to be very careful to release space bar every time . ... View more

Something just occurred to me. I'm not sure where you are located. But would it be possible for you or other Adobe employees to personally visit some people that are having this issue? You say you are having trouble reproducing it. Test some machines in the real world? ... View more

If you'll notice, you are commenting on a bug report thread. Yes, everyone knows it's a bug. Why Adobe hasn't fixed it yet is unknown to us. But there are somethings that seem to make the sticky hand problem go away. Resetting the Preferences several times, then closing and relaunching PS each time seemed to fix it for my mouse and Wacom tablet. This was on PS25. YMMV. ... View more

This is interesting. I have spent about 2 hours setting everything I could find on Wacom settings, and Windows pen and mouse settings. Nothing helped with PS version 25.0 The sticky hand tool did not change. Then I tried this. Reset preferance in PS 25.0 several times. After 3 times, it finally reset. And low and behold, my Wacom tablet seems to work fine. Took a bit to get all of my preferances back to where I want them. But I'll keep my fingers crossed. It will probably be a few days before I do any real work. I'll update later as to how it holds up. ... View more

Hmm. Well just hit another wall. Using my Wacom tablet, (Intuos PTH-651), it will not reasease at all. Have to hit mouse left button first. Back to 24.0 for me. ... View more

Well, I just downloaded and installed version 25.0.0 (this is Sept. 2023 release). I noticed that on the info pages about bug fixes, and known issues, this problem is NOT mentioned anywhere.   Anyway, I tried this version out. I guess you could say that it is semi fixed. When using hand tool, one of two things happens. 1. Release left mouse button first, then space bar, hand tool sticks until I hit left click again. 2. Release space bar first, and then left mouse button, it releases, and all is fine. I'm going to try to live with that for a while. Still have 24.0 installed just in case. ... View more

I've been using it all morning, with no problem with the hand tool, after doing these things. Hope it stays this way. ... View more

Well, I was not expecting any improvement. But this DID work for me. So far. I have only tried it on one image. And it is early in the day. I will get back later. Keeping my fingers crossed. I did first try the 24.7 Beta. Without doing these steps, it also had the sticky hand tool. But after doing these steps, it goes away. Very odd. But it works for me. ... View more

Where can I find the settings for this, and I'll try it next week. ... View more

I'm not a programmer, so this my not be the way to go. I don't know. But something happened between 25.4.1 and 25.5. Why not go back to 25.4, then one at a time add in the new code from 25.5 or .6. When the bug shows up, you'll know which part has caused the hand tool bug. If you have to, change one thing at a time and release it as an update. Let the world tell you when it shows up. ...

Just now got a notice 25.6 was ready to download. Oh, great! They fixed the sticky hand tool! NOT!!!! It is just as bad as it was in 25.5 Come on, guy! Get it together and fix this already! ... View more

I also began seeing this sticky hand tool as soon as I updated to 24.5 a few weeks ago. I tried all of the suggested fixes. Nothing worked for me. I reverted back to 24.4.1, and it works just like it should. Windows 10, Wacom Intous tablet. ... View more

To fix Wacom tablets not working correctly in Photoshop: create a .txt file containing only “UseSystemStylus 0” (without the quotes) and name it “PSUserConfig” (without quotes). Then place it in the following folder :     For Windows : C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 \Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 Settings (Or select your Photoshop Version if it’s an other one). ...
