We have reproduced the issue and have a possible workaround for you to try, but it involves running 3rd party software that's not in Adobe's control (Winaero Tweaker) so please do this at your own risk.  Using the Winaero Tweaker application, if you configure the window Border size and Border padding settings to their lowest values, you should find Photoshop not truncating so much at the edges.

Meanwhile, we're working to find a proper solution to the problem.

Thanks again!

Specific to Windows 11 22H2 and Photoshop 2023 (ps ver 24.2) the interface elements are too close to the screen edges and part of the bottom of the photoshop interface is cutoff.

 

Reset the photoshop 2023 preferences to no avail.

 

Compare photoshop 2022 with 2023 when the Photoshop Standard Screen Mode interface is maximized and note how close the Color Chips in the Tools panel are to the edge of the screen. On the right side of the screen note how close the the panel flyout menu buttons are to the edge of the screen. If one compares the bottom of the photoshop window you will see a bit of the screen is cut off.

@Ged_Traynor Nope, that's something we are looking at separately. This thread is about dual display & the other one is primarily extended UI elements on the first screen.

@Sameer K the reason why I mentioned that is because if you pull the toolbar away when working with a dual monitors the issue doesn't happen, hence the toolbar seems to be to close to the screen edge and may be related to the post I linked.

As you can see, the toolbar works fine if it's not docked to the side with dual monitors.

This is the Photoshop interface with a maximised window

2023-03-02 21_07_08-Adobe Photoshop 2023.png

and minimised

2023-03-02 21_05_52-Adobe Photoshop 2023.png

There's a clear difference between the two, with a minimised window the toolbar works as it should with dual monitors, so in my opinion it is related.

Thanks for all your efforts to isolate what's causing the issue, Morfuud.

We've had some difficulty reproducing the issue but that may be due to system and monitor differences.  When I maximize Photoshop on my multi-monitor system it perfectly lines up left and right with the edges of the monitor.  Apparently that's not what is happening on your system - it appears it may be maximizing a little bit to the left of where it ought to be.


Do you have any atypical or non-standard settings in Windows for your desktop appearance that might affect, e.g. the hidden border sizes?  Possibly a desktop theme modifying package?

Do any other applications on your system maximize so that they appear squeezed at their left edges?

Thanks again for your input!

@Noel.Carboni the issue seems to be related to Windows 11, I have no issue on my work PC with Windows 10 using dual monitors.

I've seen other threads with the same issue and as far as I recall they are running Windows 11 too.

@Noel.Carboni I can confirm it's a Windows 11 issue, I re-imaged my home PC with a Windows 10 image that I had and everything works as expected with dual monitors.

I'm having the same issue. For me the workaround is not to run Photoshop maximized.  If I Just size it to almost fit the screen it works fine.  I lose a little screen space but i can work.

I have been having an issue for a while on Windows 10  where the bottom on my screen on my second monitor gets cut off.  I am using dual monitors, one monitor is for Photoshop and all the menu's,  the other is just to display my image full size. FWIW I run the Windows task bar on the bottom of my screen in Auto hide mode.

 

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1) Launch Photoshop on Secondary monitor

2) Open a file. On my machine it opens on the Secondary monitor.  Drag the window to the other monitor and make it full screen. (I double click on the top of the window bar). At this point everything looks good. I see my Zoom percentage, profile and scroll bar at the bottom of my screen.

3) Add a new layer.  As soon as the new layer is added, the bottom part of the screen moves down and now clips off the Zoom percentage, prfoile and scroll bar. i can temporarily fix it my un-maximizing the window and maximizing it by double clicking the top of the window.  Anytime I add a layer, dupe a layer or even zoom, the problem comes back.

4) FWIW if I move the window to the other display, it does the same thing.

 

What I have tried to fix the problem:

1) Reset all Photoshop preferences, rebooted, problem still exists.

2) Disabled Graphics processor in PS preferences, rebooted, problem still exists

3) Tried changing task bar to auto hide and not auto hide, rebooted, problem still exists

4) Tried changing all of the settings on the Preferences/Workspace, problem still exists.

 

My System Specs:

1) Windows 10 version 21H2 Build 19044.2604, 32 GB RAM

2) Photoshop Version 24.2.0

3) Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 ti Version 528.49 (latest as of 3/5/2022)

4) Wacom Intuos Pro Driver version 6.3.46-1

 

Any help would be appreciated!

I'm also having this issue as of the latest PS update [v24.2]. It's simple enough to employ the suggested work around(s) but I've also noticed that UI elements on the bottom edge of the main window (zoom percentage, canvas dimensions, ect) are also not being properly constrained to the bounds of the monitor while PS's main window is maximized.

I've been using FancyZones from Microsoft's PowerToys utilities collection to make a custom 1920x1080 space for my PS window to snap into and it works like a charm. Undocking your tools panel or docking it anywhere except for that left edge lets you see the tool tips and drop downs while still being able to maximize the window.

After updating to Photoshop latest version this week I can no longer use my Cintiq Stylus to use the Dodge/Burn tool options. This appears offscreen. This wasn't a problem before the update. Now I have to use a mouse just to select what I want.

Just a heads up for my fellow Win 11 multi-monitor users:
Bug is still persistant in 24.2.1 so don't worry about upgrading if that's the fix you are waiting on..

I thought it will be solved with the update to 24.2.1 but this is not the case. 
The tool menu still goes to my laptop in maximum screen mode. 
But the problem is not solved for me?
