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?

That could be a video driver issue if the cursor is frequently off position from it's effect.

I've attached a picture. Say I'm trying to target the red box with move tool (with auto-select layer turned on).

The example-cursor i have drawn is 10px away from the black box. When I click and drag to move the element, you would expect that it selects and moves the red box. But instead it selects the black box - I experience it doing it up to 10px outside the element on top.

Know what i mean? Would this be a video driver problem?

Could you provide more info about what you're seeing?

The layer auto select works right under the cursor.

But we have seen video driver problems that can cause the cursor to draw in the wrong place.
