Hello,
I have been using Photoshop since v4, religiously for the past 5 years. Ihave owned CS since it came out and have noticed some strange behaviors.
1. Type going missing
This one, I have read on these forums, is caused by having the info panel open while typing and being zoomed in. Basically, the text doesn’t refresh when typing, and it seems some of type is missing, only to reappear when you zoom out.
2. Pencil Tool error
In Photoshop, you can use the pen tool to draw a straight line between a click to the next one while holding down the shift key; Click, hold down shift and click again, and PS draws a line between the two points. This feature stops working all by itself. The only fix I have found is to reset the preferences.
3. Jumpy selections
When making a selection and trying to move it, while being zoomed in, the selection jumps to a different area of the canvas. Haven’t found a fix.
4. Jumpy pixels
Along the same line as item 3. When moving or alt+dragging (copying) stuff, while zoomed in, it jumps to a different area of the canvas. No fix!
5. Missing guides
Sometimes when moving a guide, it disappears from the canvas. And I don’t mean when dragging it off the canvas 😉
6. Lag time
It doesn’t matter what tool you’re using, or if you are just viewing at 100%, the whole screen freezes for a few seconds.

Anyone else have these problems?
