Hello, all.
I updated to Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.1 last night, and this morning, when I command-tab away from Photoshop and back, I occasionally lose the contents of one or more of the palettes (such as the Tools palette, color palette, etc.)
Restarting Photoshop stops the problem for 10 minutes or so, but then the problems recur. The longer Photoshop is open, the worse it gets!
I am not running any unusual system extensions – just USB Overdrive.
I am using 10.4.1 on a Dual 2GHz G5 ( rev. B ) with 1.5 GB of RAM.
I never had this problem before today, and it’s quite disconcerting. I hope there is something that can be done about it.
Here’s the steps to reproduce (reported to
http://www.adobe.com/misc/bugreport.html as well):
Open a Photoshop document.
Work in it for a while, and command-tab between Photoshop and other applications.
After a while, when you return to Photoshop, one (and only one) of your palettes will be blank. The Tools palette is the most common. Other times, the options or colors palettes are blank.
Even though the contents are empty, the functionality is still there; you can click on things, and as you begin to move your mouse over things, they begin to reappear, etc.
The best workaround is to command-tab-back out, and then back in, until the palettes redraw. Hitting tab to hide all tools and re-show them works as well. But this is maddening.
I have a very, very clean and well-maintained machine, and don’t know why this is happening. Deleting and resetting all of my preferences does not seem to help.
Does anyone else have this problem?
