P: Guides are now being left auto-selected after creating them

When dragging a guide in from one of the edge rulers in a document, since about 1st August 2022, it somehow is now left selected as the active element of the document.

This means it's broken a considerable amount of workflow.

Example:

Drag a rectanguar marquee.

Drag a guide to snap to the edge of the marquee.

Ctrl-delete to fill the marquee.

 

This used to work. When you do it now, Ctrl-delete deletes the newly-created guide because it has been left as the active element, instead of filling the marquee which is what it should have done.

 

There's no way to de-select the guide without removing the marquee selection first. This is a significant change to the most basic functionality and has removed the ability to have selections in a document if you're trying to use guides.

25.4.0 is the current Photoshop version, so may want to try updating.

I'm running Photoshop version 25.3.1 and after updating my OS to Sonoma 14.3 yesterday I'm experiencing this behavior.

I should note this started happening in 23.4.2. Prior to that it worked the way it has always worked for the last decade or more.
