Photoshop crashes upon bringing a layer to the front or bringing it forward repeatedly.

For the last week or two, basically every time I am in a project and I try to bring a layer to the front using the bracket shortcuts, Photoshop will crash immediately. Photoshop also is not recognizing that it is crashing - it is terminating immediately and providing me with no recovery file - and I do have that toggled on. Very frustrating as this is something I do often out of muscle memory, so I can easily lose lots of progress.

    Hi ​@ian335873439csn let’s make sure of a couple things:

     

    1. Are you on the latest Ps Beta; Adobe Photoshop Version: 27.12.0 20260927.m.3691 5144a9c  arm64 (beta, PublicBeta)
    2. Have you pulled your preferences out to your desktop, restarted Ps Beta and do the same steps crash?
    3. Is this issue only with Ps Beta or do you see the same thing with Ps release version?

    Could you share your exact steps you are doing to see this crash?  Also, please share your system info… Help/System Info… copy and paste it all in your reply.

     

    Thanks,
