    Photoshop freezes shortly when changing tools

    Maohg

      Whenever I try to change my tool to one of the tools that is hidden behind another tool Photoshop freezes for a short time. However, when I change to the tool using the shortcut (for example Shift + I for one of the tools behind the Eyedropper) Photoshop doesn't freeze at all. This becomes quite annoying when you have to change tools a lot.. I made a video showing the problem:

      Yesterday I found a similar problem in Illustrator, when I click to select an object Illustrator freezes for a short time. However, when I immediatly drag the object when I click it, Illustrator doesn't freeze. Video of this:

      I sort of learned to work around these problems, but it's still annoying and takes a bit more time.

       

      Anyone has a clue on how to fix this problem?

      I tried several things:

      - Reinstalling the whole CS5 Master Suite

      - Deleting every single file that has something to do with Adobe and reinstall

      - Disabling OpenGL Drawing

       

      I'm running OS X 10.7.1 on a Macbook Pro 13" 2011 with a Kingston V+100 SSD.

      The problem already occurred when I was still using 10.6 with a HDD instead of a SSD, so the OS or SSD shouldn't be the problem I guess.
