Photoshop :: Remove Restrictions In Gradient Editing

Ps CS6 (13.0)
OS X 10.6.8
 
I find it annoying that changes in the resulting pixels are not displayed while a control in the Gradient Fill, Layer Style Gradient Overlay, Gradient Editor and Color Picker dialogues is being dragged. The mouse button has to be released for the change to be displayed in the resulting pixels. (I realise that the controls can be manipulated in ways other than dragging to see instantaneous changes to the image pixels. For example, the mouse wheel or keyboard arrows.)
 
Another annoyance is that the Gradient Editor window prevents operation of controls (such as scale and orientation) in the Gradient Fill and Layer Style Gradient Overlay dialogues.
 
future Ps will not have these restrictions.
 
The lack of feedback in the image while mouse-dragging controls affects more than just the editing of gradients, of course. many dialogues are not restricted in this way, for example, image adjustments.
