P: Duplicated layers get re-positioned on the canvas

I am using Photoshop CC (v 20).  As of the new update, when I attempt to duplicate a single layer or group of multiple selected layers, the duplicated layer(s) are re-positioned outside of the canvas.  I must drag them back to the correct location on the canvas.

If I attempt to duplicate multiple selected layers at once in my layers panel, Photoshop will place them at the top of the layers panel and outside of the artboard the original layers are located in.

When duplicating a group (Cmd + J), the duplicate group is not in place, but rather placed randomly. This problem does not occur when duplicating a single layer.

Hallelujah! I hope they release the fix SOON! This bug is a major pain in the butt!! Crazy that they changed this to begin with. It worked just fine before!

To add to this, there is another odd behavior in the layers panel.  If I attempt to drag the duplicated layers back into the artboard where I would've expected them to be, I must do it one layer at a time.  Otherwise, Photoshop will not move the layers when I try dropping them in the correct order.
