Photoshop CC 2015: Duplicating layers/groups in artboards moves them to the top of artboard and not next to the original layer

The behavior when you drag a layer into a group for it to go to the top is intentional, but I don't think it's intentional when duplicating a layer. Will look into it.

This issue should be corrected in the Photoshop CC 2015.0.1 update which was released today. Details here: http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/201...

I have the same issue with the arrangement of layers.... also when you used to drop a layer into a group folder, it would go to the bottom of that group, now it sits at the top.

I'm uncertain if this is a bug or an intentional change to the behavior of the layers palette, but it's unwanted either way.

It's a big obstacle in workflow. Would love this fixed/reverted back to it's original behavior.

I'm frustrated with the new workflow of adding a layer to a group and having it at the top vs. the bottom as Gary Haslam mentioned. "If it ain't broke ..."

its ok if there is an option revert... but having used the same action over and over again for years and suddenly its different, you wonder what the reason was... does it improve workflow? not really. has it sped anything up or made life easier? not really... be good to know the rationale for the change.. hey, maybe we've been doing it wrong all these years...

or is it a bug?

I can get used to having the new layer placed in a group be placed at the top, it event makes a little bit of sens ...but when i'm working on a layer in the middle of a huge document 4 groups deep and I duplicate it and the duplicated layers appear at the top of the artboard that just devastating!

I'm really hating this. My PSDs are normally 50+ layers and the new duplicating layer behavior ads so much more production time to keep my layers organized properly. Please revert to the old behavior and keep the duplicated layer on top of the source layer.

Same problem here, it's getting a bit annoying. I love the artboards it's a timesaver for me, but I'm losing that time again when duplicating groups and layers by constantly having to replace them to their correct position in the layers panel.

I noticed today that the duplication issue of moving the layer to the top of the stack has been addressed (silent update?), however there's still an odd behavior happening with the Layers palette.

This applies to text layers as well as folders, but when you duplicate the text layer or group, the entire frame/scroll bar position of your layer palette shifts to make the duped layer positioned to the top. This duplication action **does not** affect the layer order, just the view position of your layers palette.

Just thought I'd call it out as it's a bit confusing and interruptive.

Thanks for the duplication order fix, however!

Just glad that I am not the only one going crazy over this.

I get sea sick doing that.

There needs to be an easier way to duplicating a layer to a different artboard!

Yes this is absolutely obnoxious. This absolutely must be fix. To me and my team this is a huge suck out of our workflow and productivity. At least provide a workaround in the meantime until a solution can be solved.

The bigger problem: if you copy multiple layers from another document into the one with artboard, sometimes it spreads the layers into several artboard.

Same problem here with duplicating a layer and having it appear on top of the artboard, not next to the layer or group that I have just duplicated. It seems small but duplicating is such a basic action, having to spend time rearranging layers, over the course of an entire day, really adds up to lost productivity.
