Version 21.2.1 Drag duplicate layer to another document doesn't work anymore

Thanks for reporting. This is being worked on.

macOS 10.15.6 PS 21.2.1 Même problème, regardez la vidéo

I have this same issue on PC.  These fundamental backwards steps occur way too frequently.

just a heads-up, a few versions back they implemented another way to copy layers from one doc to another.

in your layers panel select the layer or layers you want to copy, hit cmd/ctrl-c, then go to your target doc and paste.

for your issue, and I could be wrong here, don't you need to wait until the tab becomes active first before dropping the layer onto it?

Thanks!  Yes, you do have to wait.  But pausing above the tab never activates the new document in this 21.2.1 version.  It used to.  And this is the issue.  If you have the "target document" open in a separate window, you can drag and drop as desired.  But that's not what we want :)  We just want it to work the way it did before updating :)

Il me semble que les testeurs chez Adobe sont de plus en plus des bêtas testeurs..... Et pas des testeurs de versions béta.... french joke !

Dommage que se soit les clients qui doivent vous signaler ce types de bogue !

Same issue here with 21.2.1 on Windows 10

I did find a temporary workaround on accident... If you hold down both the left and right mouse buttons and drag from the layers tab then it works as expected but that is too much work... lol... If you are one of those Mac one mouse button'ers you may be SOL.

I just discovered the bigger problem with this issue is that now smart filters can't be copied from one document to another. 

I see this as a major issue as I copy smart filters often between documents and now I have to duplicate each step of each filter in every document where I want the same settings for the filters

Must be something with certain configurations, I'm not having the problem here. Win 10.

Same issue here. Mac, latest version of photoshop.

I often need to reuse layers in multiple comps and have historically been able to select layers, click/hold and drag those layers to another docked composition, then that composition will become active and I can release the mouse button to "drop" the layers into this composition. In the latest update, I am no longer able to do this with docked compositions. I have to first undock the "primary" comp that has the layers I need (so it's now floating "on top" of the Photoshop window with the "secondary", docked composition), then click/hold and drag to the secondary comp window. Not a huge deal, but I've learned to do things one way and now it doesn't work anymore.

Same here updated yesterday to the latest version and since then it does not work any longer.
Wether registry change nor two mouse buttons does work under WIN10 . Only side my side windows helps but thats annoying

up-date  to  PS 21.2.2!
