P: Drag duplicate layer to another document doesn't work anymore

Dragging a duplicate layer from one document to another doesn't switch to the document where you want to drop the duplicate layer. Now you have to copy the desired layer, switch to the document where you want to layer dropped and paste it in.

Again I say that every update seems to create more problems

Il me semble que les testeurs chez Adobe sont de plus en plus des bêtas testeurs..... Et pas des testeurs de versions béta.... french joke !

Dommage que se soit les clients qui doivent vous signaler ce types de bogue !

L'onglet ne deviendra jamais actif... C'est le problème !

The thumb-index will never become active... It is problem!

ah gotcha. I had been testing with the wrong version, but I see the bug now. I'll make sure this is officially reported.

Thanks!  Yes, you do have to wait.  But pausing above the tab never activates the new document in this 21.2.1 version.  It used to.  And this is the issue.  If you have the "target document" open in a separate window, you can drag and drop as desired.  But that's not what we want 🙂  We just want it to work the way it did before updating 🙂

just a heads-up, a few versions back they implemented another way to copy layers from one doc to another.

in your layers panel select the layer or layers you want to copy, hit cmd/ctrl-c, then go to your target doc and paste.

for your issue, and I could be wrong here, don't you need to wait until the tab becomes active first before dropping the layer onto it?

I have this same issue on PC.  These fundamental backwards steps occur way too frequently.
