It's just little things. Not enough to stop using PS, but enough that it starts to grate on you after you encounter the same bug again and again. A bug that wasn't there in the previous version.
A few months ago, Adobe released a new version of PS. They failed to address a major bug which caused line height to be unusable. It took them weeks to release a fix for it.
Another bug which took over a year to fix was that you couldn't select a colour from your foreground/background colour while the colour picker was open.
The most recent bug I've found is the inability to confirm/close the colour picker box by pressing enter, rather than clicking OK. It's only in certain situations but is really frustrating when it only works half the time.
Another bug that's been there for at least two years is text not maintaining its styling or not applying a style. This is usually something like changing to a bold style, clicking another tool and it reverting to regular. Again, only sometimes.
Another bug is that if you resize the properties sidebar, sometimes the fields no longer respond to being clicked, meaning you have to rely on windows that the properties sidebar was supposed to replace.
Finally I've noticed that Photoshop has decreased the line height between drop down values meaning it's now harder to quickly scan those values as they're too close together.
All of these little things is making Photoshop a less user friendly experience. The problems aren't related solely to Photoshop either, but also bleed into Illustrator. I feel like the developers are being forced to push a product out the door without adequately testing it first.
How about you? Have you experienced any of the above issues? Do you too get the feeling that there's more bugs in recent versions of Photoshop?
