Mouse Scroll Wheel Sluggish (Windows 11)
Using the mouse's scroll wheel in Bridge's Folders Pane used to work comfortably. However, with version 15, the scroll speed is tediously slow. I checked my Windows 11 settings, and the mouse parameters have not changed.

"Light Table" mode: Continued high CPU usage
See Update #1, 2025-01-16 below.
See Update #2, 2025-01-16 below.When using the latest version of Bridge (15.0.2.432) I have noticed that sometimes Bridge has a continued (very) high CPU usage for no reason. I can replicate this 100% (system details below):
start Bridge
enter "maximized" mode for the Bridge app window (so that the Bridge window fills the whole screen)
enter "Filmstrip" mode
go to a folder with more than around 40 images (see below *)
(I have tested this with both small JPEGs and with large TIFFs, see also about filters below)Bridge may or may not generate…

Bridge does not open large externar disks
I have a Terramaster with many 16tb disks. Most of time this cannot be opened. I see the little circle spinning but It cannot open the content of those disks. If I delete preferences I can open them but in a few days it happens again. With any other program I have no problem to open those large disks like ACDSEE or PhotoMechanic so it is an Adobe Bridge problem. It has been going for very long now with no solution

Bridge 2025 Loupe & Scrolling sticks still when trying to move slowly.
Max OSX 15.2 MacBook Pro M4 Max.
Moving a loupe over an image, when moving slowly there is NO movement at all! This is true if using a trackpad or mouse.
This also affects scrolling of the content files/images. When scrolling slowly there is no scrolling, zero!
To move a loupe around you need to move quickly, but then when reducing speed it'll suddenly stick again. So you either have fast movement or none, it's bad.
Bridge was never like this in early versions, nor should it be now! Fundamental bug needs fixing ASAP!! PLEASE!! Adobe this is 2025 and…

Bridge cannot open large hard disk
I cannot open any large external Hard Drive . Drives of 8TB are fine but I have a few 16tb drives on an external Terramaster. They do not open in Bridge. They haven't in the past so i moved to photo Mechanic . With the new updates i tried again but the problem is not solved. Nor on the left panel where the folder structure should be under the drive nor in the content panel nothing can be seen. Large files are just impossible to popen for Bridge

Bridge 14.0.3.200 is slow/laggy on OSX
We have been running Bridge for a number of years at our photo studio. Over the past few months, Bridge has been running excessively slow. Tasks like sorting through thumbnails in Essentials view are laggy. Moving from one thumbnail to the next has a delay associated with it. We are running top-of-the-line Mac Studio workstations. We're not sure why the performance of Bridge has suffered recently, but we strongly urge Adobe to kindly look into this matter.
3 votesHi,
We have made performance optimizations in the latest release, please try installing Bridge Release # 14.0.4 and confirm if that fixes the issue for you.

Zoom
Version 14.1.0.257
Issues with Zoom during Preview screen
MacBook Pro - Sonoma 14.5 - M3 MAX - 36GB
Expected zoom to show the close up of the area that I have selected.
Actual results in zoom window shows about a quarter of the selected area, with the rest of the pixels stretched to the edge of the zoom window. Tried to uninstall/reinstall Bridge but it does not fix the issue.

Masking and brushes not working properly while editing DNG files
While selecting a color range mask and then subtracting with a brush, the brush is slow to respond and then snaps to a blocky removal shape, then subtracts even more after letting go of the brush. Working with DNG. Jpeg on desktop, no problem. Single NEF file, seems to work fine. Convert files to HDR and a DNG will not operate as normal.

Performance horrible after update to version 14.
Bridge version 14.0.1.137.
Mac OS 14.2Doing almost anything brings up the spinning beachball for 10-15 seconds. It is unusable at this point. Just clicking on the Help menu to get here gets a wait as well as checking the version number. I have restarted my Mac and tried to use it with no other applications running, but it made no difference.

It (CameraRaw, Ctrl+R, ...) is not working on Canon CR2 and CR3 files, also not working on simple JPG files too!
The very same is working in "normal" Bridge (v13.0.4.755).2 votesHi,
This issue is fixed with the latest Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 15.5.1 update.
We would recommend you update and confirm if the issue is resolved.

We appreciate your patience and support.

Opening a couple of DNG's as layers in a PS file doesn't work
In Bridge you have under the tools menu the possibility to layer several dng files in one document. For instance to realign . In the newest version it doesn't work anymore.

"spinning wheel of death" when opening or modifying a folder of images
I get the famous "spinning wheel of death" when opening or modifying a folder of images, and it is OBSCENELY CPU INTENSIVE, so much so that Bridge becomes unusable for minutes at a time. When are you going to fix this?

Can't interrupt lengthy metadata search
I started a lengthy content search (among 16,000 photos) for 'All Metadata contains "25" in "Photo Archive" and all subfolders'. When I realized the search was too broad, I tried repeatedly hitting the "Stop Search" button but I was unable to stop the search. I just get the rainbow cursor going around and around. I eventually had to force quit Bridge.

Bridge 2023 Hogs CPU even when IDLE
When IDLE Bridge hogs 24% of CPU all of wich is in kernel processes. And I mean IDLE - with previews fully cached.
My system is a 32gb Ryzen 5800x overclocked, i can't imagine the performance on a regular pc.
Also it has become slow and unresponsive to the point that pruning the pictures has become a pain: it's way slower than the previous version.
14 votesHi,
The latest Beta build 14.0.0.57 has fix for this issue along with a few new features.

metadata on mouse hover stick on the screen in Bridge 13.0.0.562 (2023)
Randomly / sometimes the metadata bubble on mouse over sticks on the screen and does not disappear on mouse move. It even stickes there on folder change! Sometimes minimizing and resizing Bridge window solves the problem, but most times I should close Bridge and restart it! VERY ANNOYING BUG!!!
It is the same on a very different computer also, so it's not my PC's fault.3 votes
