program error when nudging (mac os 12.3.1, 27" iMac 2019, i5)

[peter.f]

Good morning,

I'm having the "Could not nudge data because of a program error" message  occasionaly when I try to move one or more layers with the arrow keys (Marquee tool selected, Cmd+Shift+arrow). The only way to 'solve' it is to save the file and then reopen it (no need to restart Photoshop).

Orinially reported as a 'me too' in https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/move-and-nudge-with-cursor-keys-malfu...

Recently, I'm experiencing an annoying problem in Photoshop.

Sometimes, out of the blue, the Move tool simply stops working and when I try to Nudge with my arrow keys, it displays a message telling me that Nudge won't work dua to a program error.

Then I have to close all my projects, shut Photoshop down and reopen everything all over again.

Just happened again

What have you done for all-purpose trouble-shooting so far?
Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:

Peter have a trawl through the known issues for Photoshop with Mac systems.  Do you have the M1 processor?

Known issues in Photoshop (adobe.com)

Photoshop for Apple Silicon (adobe.com)

It would probably have been better to start a new thread, and maybe include a link to this one.  A lot of these issues are OS dependent so I'll add your OS to the subject line (although that might not match the original poster)

[peter.f]

Hi Trevor.

The known issues only list the 'program error' when opening  or saving files, not when nuding. And yes, I should've mention that it's on an Intel mac.

But I'll start a new thread.

Thanks,

Peter.

[Trevor.Dennis]

Thanks Peter.  I am a Windows user but we have plenty of Mac users who will be more familar with your issue.

@peter.f Have you tried with fresh prefs? If not, let's make sure we're in a default state and there are no stale settings somewhere:
Restore your preferences using this manual method:
https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#Manually
Does it work correctly?
If that doesn't solve it, you can quit Photoshop and put the Settings folder back.
If it does solve the problem, I would like to get the folder of settings to try and figure out what is bad with them.

[peter.f]

Hi Jeffrey,

The problem is that this issue doesn’t happen very often.
And when it does, saving and reopening that same file, without quitting Photoshop, solves the issue.
(BTW, I save the file because I will have modified it. It’s not necessarily part of the fix. Just close and reopen would probably work as well).

That suggests the following.
- Resetting the settings will not give a conclusive answer. How long would I have to wait to conclude that the ‘issue is solved?
- When simply reopening the same file fixes the problem, I doubt that the settings/preferences are the cause (gut feeling after being a SW dev for 20 years).

Furthermore, I have non-standard workspaces and lots of custom keybindings that I don’t want to loose. If this was a quick and conclusive test ("does it fix it, Y/N?” —- see first item above), I would have no problem trying it. Maybe you could be more specific about which preference files that might be the culprit?

I understand that this is not an easy problem to fix. As I said, it doesn’t happen too often, and reopening the file solves it. So, for me, it’s not a deal-breaker.

Cheers,
Peter.

I've had this problem for several years now with different versions of Photoshop. The problem is ALWAYS related to fonts. This only happens when you have typed text in different layers and moved elements in artboard. Then suddenly when trying to move elements with text, the error shows up. Reset always helps. About 50% times when saved after the error, Photoshop bugs out and all the text elements are now hidden, and become visible again when double clicked all the text layers. Annoying as hell but I have learned to live with this bug for over 6 years now.
