I had been having this problem for a while. I would try to drag something to move it in Photoshop and it would jump clear across the screen or disappear completely! This happened one too many times, so I jumped online and found that Adobe has released a fix for this very issue.
If you have this problem, click here to download the fix from Adobe.

Thanks! As you can imagine it's pretty maddening to edit photos with this mouse problem hehehe
I will try rebooting, and use some canned air on this mouse and mousepad in case it's some kind of debris. It's really maddening!
Kris Cain
BTW, I checked out your site… your photography is stunning!
Kris Cain
That is strange! I wonder if something else interfered with it. I would say install it again and see what happens.
Kris Cain
Hi Kamila,
Did you try restarting afterwards?
Kamila
i installed this fix and it's still happening.. ugh!! any ideas?!
Kris Cain
Hi Kamila,
Did you try restarting afterwards?
Kamila
yes indeed, restarted a bunch of times, even got a new mouse and mouse pad. this has been happening on and off for months, the “fix” fixed it for a few days, and it is back 🙁
Kris Cain
You are very welcome! Finding that fix saved me from throwing my computer. 🙂
