It's a pretty blatant bug, but some workarounds have been discovered.

It has to do with having your Windows Taskbar up at the top of the display.

You can work around the bug by setting your Taskbar to Auto-Hide itself.

You guys are too fast for me!

But we can't fix the root cause of the problem, though I'll be more than happy to discuss contract work.

wow big thanks for Noel, I'm having this same issue since I'm using window with top taskbar at my office,and mac at home. hopefully Adobe can fix this soon

I'm having the same issue, and I have my Windows taskbar at the top of the screen too.

Someone at the top of this thread said that "some workarounds" have been discovered; is there another besides auto-hiding the taskbar? I'd really rather not do that, it messes up my workflow. I think I might just keep using CS5 until Adobe gets this bug fixed.

Another workaround is to use Tabbed view.

Regarding the software being released after the bug having been reported during beta, that's a particular beef of mine as well about Adobe's processes...  Consider the fact that the released software has a build date of several days BEFORE the start of the public beta.

Thing is, it's probably unreasonable to hold release until every known bug is eradicated, but this is kind of an obvious one, and it was (potential) customer-reported. 

I'm not sure what kind of meetings were held to discuss going forward with the release, but this problem and the one also found during beta where text gets corrupted and the corruption is saved in the PSD file make me wonder what would be considered a "show stopper" bug.  Add to this the fact that the help documentation really still is not done and it sure seems like the pressure to release must be unreasonable.

Looking forward to the 13.0.1 update...

Another work around is to use Photoshop cs6 on a duel monitor, I have my desktop on one and photshop on the other, problem solved and yes my taskbar is on the top.   Really if your a graphic designer you should have more then one monitor right?  I'm not trying to be snarky here but.....  8)

There are several reasons why multiple monitors are far superior to a super-wide one.  Chief among those reasons is the ability to set them at an angle to each other so as to minimize head turning and viewing angle distortion.  The tone of your post makes it unnecessary to address other reasons in detail.  You're just trolling. 

Dueling banjos come to mind too…

Oh thank you so much Bill and station_two for correcting me on my use of these two english words, Yes Duel, and  Dual.... God now I just can't live with myself anymore, and I now must put a gun to my head and pull the trigger.

  Thank you so much god rest my soul.

Love u 2

Yea well, I work in an IMAX dome and have a 360 degree view of my photoshop documents. Anything less is for newbs. Get with the times people.

This is pretty much unacceptable to me. I blame Microsoft more than Adobe; I've been using the taskbar on top for years (it actually makes much more sense, I think) and I have had issues with programs opening underneath it or not working properly since WINDOWS XP.

Adobe needs to fix this ASAP because it's pretty sad that this new program has such a blatant and intrusive bug but the greater point here is that part of Windows needs to be re-written because it's not something software developers should be having to worry about.

The taskbar at the top makes TONS more sense. That's where all the other menus and app controls are, why move your mouse all the way down to the bottom, that makes NO sense. I don't understand how any serious computer user can put the taskbar at the bottom, that's just foolishness to me. It certainly makes you a little slower as you have to move your eyes and mouse further.

I'm not bothering with CS6 until this bug is fixed, it's a total deal killer for me.
