Move Tool annoyance in Photoshop CS6.
I use the move tool alot in my work, with high fidelity mockups for interface design. I rely on precision and predictability in my workflow. In Photoshop CS6 with the move tool set to auto-select layer, i would suspect the move tool to select the excact element im targeting at which it doesn't. it automatically selects nearby elements, which is a HUGE annoyance and disturbance. It ruins the workflow, and it's unpredicable.

Is there at least an option to remove this behaviour and just make it precise as in previous versions of photoshop?

Honestly, this program has WAY to many bugs to justify it's astronomical price.
I can't believe the community is so overly tolerant.

Yeah, that's also my impression. I think it's because that the nature of the issue is so basic, and the amount of times you encounter it during a day of work makes it so agonizing

It's funny how you can work around other bugs so easily and yet for those that use shapes this particular bug just continues to niggle until you break in frustration. With other bugs users aren't as annoyed but reading through the various reports of the same problem I sense designers are on the brink of throwing their computers across the studio in anger!

Going Crazy here. We should form a support group.

Iskender,
If Chris Cox were not deleting our posts, there probably would be hundreds of complaints.

I don't know what it gains, but Chris Cox is very good at deleting our comments, merging unlike topics and minimizing the problem.

I suspect that we will not see a solution to this problem because Chris is in between us and the folks that could fix it.

I have experienced this on PC, both laptop and desktop, it doesn't seem to be video card issues.

Thanks for bringing these to our attention. It's difficult to find these discussions since its hard to describe a "feature" that has no name :)

Hopefully we can rally people here.

I myself noted this problem in July: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4695525. Then another noted the problem: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photosh.... In fact I've seen more including this back in April: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4302292 which includes a video clearly showing the problem.

I still have not seen any response saying this will be fixed. Most seem to suggest video card problems. I'm using a MacBook Pro... We can not be the only ones frustrated.

On another note anyone agree with this post from 2005? http://hanfordlemoore.com/v/photoshop...

🙂 Hopefully not. This issue - http://feedback.photoshop.com/photosh... -
is resolved with 42 people in, and it was also a huuge issue then.
