Drag image inside a frame and still see frame masking?

[tallscot]

If I click on the circle on top of an image inside a frame and drag quickly, I only see the boundary of the image as I drag.

If I click and then hold before dragging, I see the image itself as I drag, which is great, but the frame itself that contains the image is no longer active.

Any way to click and drag an image inside a frame and see what I'm dragging but also see the masking that happens when it's in a frame?

thanks!

This question has been asked a few times before here, the answer is GPU acceleration. For some this makes this behaviour not work correctly. Try turning GPU acceleration off in the preferences to see if that makes a difference.

Thank you. Turning off the GPU Performance option in the preferences now shows me the masking. I have a 2013 Mac Pro with dual 700s, FYI.

Thanks!!

The engineers have reported they are aware of this bug.
