P: Move tool to auto-select multiple Layers by dragging and creating a marquee box no longer works in 2027 (v28)

In previous versions, you used to be able to use the Move tool to drag and creating a box that would select all layers in that area if auto-select layer is on. This feature is no longer working in 2027 (v28). Please fix this bug!

    Hey, @ryand28214008. Thanks for bringing this up. This is fixed in the current release of Photoshop (beta). This regression was identified and fixed pretty late, after the v28.0 release was already finalized, so it couldn't make it into that release. So, the fix may arrive in the general release soon.


    Thanks!

    ​@ryand28214008 just tested with version 28.0 and I can replicate the issue, resetting the preferences doesn’t help

    I’m having the same problem and haven’t been able to find a solution. Is this option still not working for you either?
