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.
