Hello everyone.

Im a frustrated guy from Denmark who needs a little help.

When i use the brush in Photoshop CS6 and want to undo, option+command+z, it doesnt work 70% of the time, its like its not available, but when i click on the top of photoshop window and go back into the canvas the shortcut works again, and the same thing goes for when swapping between brush and eraser. Its really annoying and destroying my flow.
The same thing goes for when using my Wacom Intous Pro tablet, 70% of the time i need to click on the top of photoshop window before my shortcut works.

A bonus question i also have regarding my Wacom tablet is, does your tablet also lag when trying to use finger gesture/wheel to zoom, pane etc? The action takes place 8 sec later or so, which is unusable. Btw the brush strokes it self doesnt lag at all.

System: Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
Software: Photoshop CS6 v.13.0
Tablet: Wacom Intous Pro Medium, software version 6.3.10w2

Hope you guys can help me, thanks alot :-)

You can try resetting the preferences. It might help.

It could be some mess up in the preferences, these kind of issues cannot come with a personal settings inside photoshop.

The last hope is try uninstall and re-install the software.
