Photoshop Beta 25.4.0 Release.

Right clicking on layer and selecting "duplicate" then setting the destination to a different document results in a "Could not complete the Duplicate Layer command because of a program error.

However, the duplication does occur correctly.

Yes, of course, that is the perfect response Chuck!

However, few of us have time to jump back and forth between the two
programs. Some things like moving an image from one open document to
another open document shouldn't be that difficult to fix. It works
perfectly in the regular version (always has). It has also worked
perfectly in past versions of the Beta until shortly before Christmas.

Adobe wants us to be Beta testers, meaning they want us to use the Beta and
provide feedback on the new things they offer. But if Adobe wants us to
continue doing that then they can't screw up the things people use everyday
and not fix them in a timely fashion.

Some bugs are harder to fix than other, even though it seems that they should be easy. The beta version is for testing. It's not really for production work. So if you want to see what's new, find bugs and help improve PS, use the beta, but if you need to get work done, used the released version.

I recognize that you are just a volunteer Jane (and that you do good work
helping others and it's appreciated), but you are quick to defend Adobe and
you have missed my point. If Adobe does not correct problems reported
numerous times by numerous users in a timely fashion, there is no reason
for those users to continue using the Beta when the problem is part of our
daily workflow. If we stop using the Beta, there will be less feedback
thereby curtailing user interface.

Adobe will fix whatever is causing this bug and (hopefully) we will never see it in the released version.

I am a volunteer who does not work for Adobe and won't second guess how complex this one is.

Jane -

This problem in the Beta has been acknowledged for quite some time now, and
yet remains unfixed. You have (in not so many words) indicated in other
posts that the Beta is produced so that Photoshop can be improved based on
user feedback. Surely no one who has this problem, is going to continue
using the Beta until it is fixed. So how does this help Adobe?
