Photoshop CC 2019: Duplicated layers get re-positioned on the canvas

Hi all,

 

We are happy to announce the release of Photoshop CC 20.0.1

This update includes fixes to some of the top customer reported issues among other bug fixes. 

See what’s fixed

To update Photoshop CC to 20.0.1, click "Update" in the Creative Cloud desktop app next to Photoshop CC. More detailed instructions for updating

 

Regards,

Sahil

To add to this, there is another odd behavior in the layers panel.  If I attempt to drag the duplicated layers back into the artboard where I would've expected them to be, I must do it one layer at a time.  Otherwise, Photoshop will not move the layers when I try dropping them in the correct order.

Engineering is working on a fix for this. Thanks.

Hallelujah! I hope they release the fix SOON! This bug is a major pain in the butt!! Crazy that they changed this to begin with. It worked just fine before!

When duplicating a group (Cmd + J), the duplicate group is not in place, but rather placed randomly. This problem does not occur when duplicating a single layer.

How is this solved when engineering is still working on a fix?

The same or involving Artboards:

3. Duplicate artboard layer
4. Graphic is moved to top of document

This issue was reported 3 years ago, but is now present with the 2019 update again. https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/duplicating-layers-groups-in-artboards-moves-...

I have no idea why, but since I updated, Photoshop CC is behaving strangely... Today I had major issues with the Move Tool, for instance, I drag a layer to the bottom of the layers palette to duplicate and all kinds of strange things happen... I suddenly have a duplicate of the layer AND a new blank layer, multiple layers are selected all at once... I thought it was the settings of my mouse but it is not that. I tried resetting all tools and it seems to be okay so far... However I am also still having issues with dragging a vertical layer straight from the vertical ruler. I just cannot drag it... but I have no problem dragging a guide from the horizontal layer... I cannot figure out why that is!
