Sometimes when selecting a menu item it takes about 5 seconds for Photoshop to respond. If moving the mouse pointer after clicking the menu item, PS responds immediately. Sometimes when opening a menu an automatic click occurs when moving the mousepointer causing the menu to close or even automatically choose a menu item.
Any idea?
Applies to:
Top menus, Right click Context menus, Dropdown menus in panels. Only Photoshop affected
Photoshop version:
Current 19.1.3 and some versions back
Hardware:
2 different Macbook pro (2015 and 2017) with latest OS
Several Logitech Mice and/or internal trackpad (with or without Logitech drivers)
Frequency:
Very random. Sometimes never and sometimes 1 out of 3 tries. Seems to be more frequent after some time working in PS without restarting
Sidenote:
Have also noticed that when closing menus they sometimes fade away with a short animation, and sometimes the same menu disappears instantly
Possible workaround... maybe:
(a little bit better but the lag is still there occasionally)
My usual technique is
- click to open menu (including release mouse button)
- move to menu item
- click on menu (including release mouse button)
Alternative workflow
- mouse down to open menu (and keep mouse button down)
- move mouse pointer to menu item
- release mouse button
