weird, do u think it has something to do with me changing the dock icon of photoshop?
i moved it to the desktop and back to the adobe folder but it is still not working properly.
don't move it back, move it OUT, then reopen photoshop...and see how things go. the dock icon will have NO affect on the issue.
do some googling as well; when i moved from 10.7 to 10.8, i had crazy PS issues, and found a fix online (i thought it was removing preferences...)
