Love the multiple path selection tool in Photoshop CC, but is there a way to *not* include invisible & locked layers?

In large PSD files with many layers and groups, it is quite hopeless that move tool marks invisible and locked layers. This error is so critical that I will use CS6 until it is fixed. And that's a shame, because I'm sure there's a lot of good functionality in CC. Please fix this!

Please read the statement at the beginning of the thread. We know about the issue, and are working on it.

I have to say this: I'm feeling really bad taking in consideration that we are paying an annual fee for this silly (if not stupid) bug!

So what's the whole idea behind the Creative Cloud and throwing away the versions? Deliver to your costumers buggy products and take weeks to fix it?

Come on Adobe! this has been reported 3 months ago and nothing...

it is ridiculous that it takes so much time to fix this bug. Do you understand that photoshop is simply unusable to many people?

Meanwhile, Dreamweaver CC launches in two months with new fixes and features that practically constitute a new major release, while we have the Photoshop crew hiding behind their legal team, releasing ZERO patches since the June launch. It's a pretty sad start for Adobe's biggest product in the CC line.

Photoshop is a cancer. The soon the community is rid of it the better. I hate using Adobe software. Adobe is lazy.

So what I do is - I continue to pay you every month and just patiently wait knowing it will be fixed at some point?

These 'legal reasons' seem flawed to me.
Can you point us at them please?

We heard you, we said we knew about the bug, we said we were fixing it.
We just can't announce a date for legal reasons.

After two months I feel this is being ignored.

Are you really telling us you cannot announce an intent to fix a bug because you are a publicly traded company. Really? Isn't this just basic 'business as usual' stuff for a software company? There's a bug, fix it, next bug, move on.

The official response in no way addresses the issue. There is no indication of empathy, there is no indication of understanding, there is no apology that I have seen. It feels rude.

If I treated my clients like this , then most probably I'd be pretty close to being out of business in 2 months. I'm disgraced.

You may have a mostly fantastic product, but your customer service, here, is appalling. Smaller software companies I deal with are quick to respond, cheerful , personal polite and helpful with far less budget and resource. Look at them and learn a thing or two Adobe.

Yep, heaps of publicly traded software companies around the world announce patches and fixes for flaws in their code in advance eg. Microsoft, isn't that what Windows 8.1 is all about?

Frankly I think it's a pretty weak excuse for Adobe to pull that card and stay silent over one of the most damning and embarrassing flaws in their flagship software to date.
