DDPM causes object to move on select in Adobe apps, macOS Tahoe, Apple Silicon.
Hello, I believe I've found a compatibility issue between Dell Display and Peripheral Manager DDPM and Adobe Creative Cloud apps. Hardware: Dell U3821DW monitor connected via USBC. MacBook Pro M5 Pro. macOS Tahoe 26.6. 2 DDPM version 2.3.0.105 and earlier .023. Adobe InDesign 21.5.1 and Adobe Illustrator, current version.
Issue: When DDPM is running, simply clicking to select canvas objects in InDesign or Illustrator causes the object to nudge or move. The X/Y values change without dragging, making precise design work difficult.
Steps tried: reset Adobe preferences, tested with mouse and trackpad, GPU on and off, HDMI and USBC, macOS updated. None of these resolved it.
Critical finding: quitting DDPM immediately stops the issue. Relaunching DDPM brings it back. This is fully reproducible.
Anyone else had this issue? Happy to provide logs or further testing if needed.
Tried submitting via "Get help now" but because its an "out-of-warranty systems" I'd have to pay to raise this with support 🤔😂
Best, Ian

This is out of scope for Dell. The Dell DDPM team does not test using added 3rd party Adobe products. You should post the issue on Adobe Forums to see if other Adobe users found a workaround.
They only tested DDPM on a MacBook Pro running macOS 26 Tahoe with no 3rd party software installed.
Have you tested the latest version on macOS DDPM to see if it also has the same issue?
