P: Photoshp Beta (25.4.0.2439) Program Error when Duplicating Layer to different document

Yes. Hope it gets treated soon. Not sure but it might start giving error messages as well if you just keep trying to drag and drop several times... though this might be caused by something else as well, since error msg is not specified.

Well, by choosing not to use the Beta, you won't be doing your part to correct the problem.  🙂

The way it has been explained by Adobe employees on this forum in the past, is that Photoshop is made of a library of modules.  A whole series of smaller apps which combine to make a whole.  Changing one can have unforeseen affects on another, and because of the complexity of an app like Photoshop, it might need an army of testers (us) to uncover bugs.  We have a choice don't forget.  Right now I am choosing not to use the beta version, mainly because of the Pen tool issue, but I'll got right back to making it my default version when that has been fixed.

Oh I understand just fine, but it makes no sense whatsoever when a beta is working in harmony with the way the regular Photoshop versions work, and then it is changed without rhyme or reason.

Possibly you don't understand the purpose of a public beta, Stu. It's to find and report bugs and other issues to the product team so they are less likely to make it into the released version.

After latest update to Ps beta, I am unable to drag and drop layers from one open file to another. Not sure if this function is currently under update or what, but it diesn't work for now (Dec 26). Anyone else have this issue?

25.4.0 Adobe Photoshop Beta - when trying to use the move tool with the alt key (Windows) to create a copy and move it to a different file, I get the error message: "could not use the move tool because of a program error"

This is the second post I have seen on this.  I tested and had the same result, so we should consider it a known problem that is being worked on.  

I usually work with the beta version, but between this and other issues — mainly that the Pen tool is not working properly — the beta version is currently unusable!
