P: Photoshop Beta 28.0 | Move Tool (V) → Auto-Select: Layer Single-click on objects selects layers normally. The bug has not been fixed.

Critical Bug Report – Photoshop Beta 27.12 and 28.0: Move Tool Auto-Select Issue

In Photoshop Beta 27.11 / 27.12:

When using the Move Tool (V) with Auto-Select: Layer enabled, clicking once on an object correctly selects its corresponding layer, as expected.

However, when holding down Ctrl and dragging a rectangular selection box around multiple objects to select multiple layers, the layers are not selected as they should be.

This issue first appeared in version 27.12, and even after updating to the latest version, 28.0, the bug still has not been fixed.

Please investigate and fix this bug as soon as possible. This is a critical issue because it significantly disrupts the workflow, makes Photoshop more difficult to use, and negatively impacts productivity.

Thank you for your attention to this important issue.

    Please, Adobe, fix this and show some respect for your customers! Here in Brazil, I’m constantly seeing sponsored posts featuring left-wing political activist artists—it’s clear that the company is deeply involved in Brazilian politics. But please, show some respect for the people who pay for your product—and pay a high price for it, at that! Leave politics aside and fix the software we need to do our jobs! Respect your customers and users!

    Yea, i got a new update on the Photoshop Beta app and I cant select multiple layers when dragging my cursor across the assets. I tried resetting the auto-select config and it still doesn’t work… 

    Is there an expected date when this will be fixed?

    OMG!!! 

    I was just about to ask whether the issue had finally been fixed in update 28.01. But after seeing this comment, I've decided not to update yet.

    ​@CShubert Seriously, this issue still hasn't been fixed? We've had THREE updates already, guys! What the hell have you been doing all this time? How can you still not fix such a basic issue?!
