When using Cmd shortcut to auto-select, when group is selected it selects layers, when layers is selected it selects groups

    Issue: Using the Move Tool, selecting "Layer" moves the entire group. Selecting "Group" moves the individual layer


    - Photoshop Beta 27.11.0 
    - OS: Windows 11

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Put 4 items in a group
    2. Try and move the group by selecting "Group" and it will just move the individual layer you click on and drag
    3. Try and move one layer by selecting "Layer" and it will move the entire group of objects

    Expected result: Selecting "Layer" should move the individual layer. Selecting "Group" should be move all objects in the group. (Video attached)

    Actual result: Selecting "Layer" moves the entire group. Selecting "Group" moves the individual layer you select.

    After the latest Photoshop update, grouped layers are behaving incorrectly. When I select a layer, the whole group moves instead of the individual layer. When I select the group, only a single layer moves. The behavior seems to be reversed.
