Adobe has released an update for Photoshop CS2 that John Nack humorously equates to "detention in high school"; or rather, "a kind of penalty box that keeps you away from what you really want to be doing".

Specifically, this update fixes a wide array of odd bugs and quirks, so here's the rundown from Mr. Nack's post:

After editing an image in Photoshop CS2 via Acrobat Touchup, the image no longer gets re-positioned.
Photoshop no longer hangs for several seconds when using painting tools with quick strokes.
A program error that could appear when mousing over high res doc with Brush Tool has been fixed.
Documents containing a large number of text layers now open more quickly.
An error that could cause a crash on Mac when launching, or when opening or saving a file, has been addressed.
Problems related to palettes on Windows (slow redraw, palettes go white, possible crash) have been addressed.
TIFF files from certain scanners can now be opened correctly.
XMP metadata from AI & PDF files is now retained in Photoshop.
Slow performance when toggling layer visibility has been fixed.
Info palette numbers now display and update when moving a curve point in Curves via the cursor keys.
Problems opening certain TIFF and PSB files greater than 2GB in size have been resolved.
The Merge to HDR command now functions properly when using high-ASCII characters in user login.

John also provides Mac and Win download links, though I would wager the software updater app that gets installed with CS2 would catch this as well. If you're on a Mac it's in your Applications/Utilities folder, though I'm not sure where it's at on Windows.
