In Photoshop CS4 tryout in Mac OS X 10.5.5: Selection marquee is incorrectly drawn one pixel to the left of the actual selection. Simply create a new document, like 800 x 600 pixels, then select all (Command+A). The "marching ants" selection marquee is shifted one pixel to the left of where it should be. Can anyone confirm?
I’m unsure how to report this to Adobe. They don’t make it very easy.

Well, since it appears as if a pixel is being split by a marquee selection, and since by definition a pixel cannot be divided, then it’s a display anomaly.
What you’ll have to figure out is what region the marquee actually defines when you see what appears to be a line of marching ants running through the center of a pixel. Does the "partial" pixel end up inside or outside of the selection?
Then again, depending on the type of work being done, it may not really matter much, from a visual standpoint.
I do have the same problem. at 100% the selection looks like it’s shifted one pixel to the right. And it looks like it’s has selected the canvas border. I am running Photoshop on G5 with 10.4.11.
This bug still persists in the real release version. The marching ants selection box draws 1 pixel to the right of the cross hairs curser. CS3 did not have this problem. It’s most annoying along the left edge of the document where a "Select-All" looks like it’s missing the very left column of pixels.
Platform: Mac – Dual-Core Intel Xeon Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
I have the 7300 GT card running 10.4.11 on a MacPro and I can verify that turning off Open GL solves the problem. So we either have to get a new video card or live with it I suppose. I seriously doubt if the 7300 drivers will be updated.
I have a G5 with NVidia 6600 LE video card running on OS X 10.4.11. I am experiencing the same problem and turning OpenGL off solves the issue so I guess more than one videocard is affected by this.
For the sake thoroughness, I posted about experiencing the issue, but I’m not in a position to submit a bug report because my entire system not officially supported, not just the card.
