P: Transforming 2 or more shape & type layers ignores Type layers

Since updating to Photoshop 27.3.1 shape layers have been behaving inconsistently. Running on Windows 11.

I have multiple shape layers, all different colours, which I can manipulate fine individually. But, when I select multiple layers in the layers panel, all layers change to the colour of the lowest-most layer. This issue is inconsistent, sometimes layers behave as expected and other times they don’t.

Also, some shape layers have text layers above them which are linked. If I move a shape layer, the text layer moves too as expected, but if I rotate the shape, the linked text doesn’t rotate.  

I didn’t have either of these issues until I updated.

Any help would be appreciated.

      Hey, ​@GaryD85. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I’ll need more info to help you figure this out. Could you record a short video and share it with me, along with the system info from Photoshop Help > System info > Copy & paste into a text document > upload & attach here. 

       

      Awaiting hearing from you. 

      Thanks!

      Hi Sameer, thanks for getting back to me. System info and a couple of videos attached. 

      One video shows multiple layers changing to the colour of the lower most layer when multiple layers are selected in the layers panel. The other video shows a linked text and shape layer rotating as expected, but failing when attempting to transform more than two layers simultaneously.

        Thanks for the details. One of the issues you’ve reported with the Shape Fill odities is a known issue that the team is already working on. 

        For the second issue, I've reproduced it and shared it with the team for review. 

         

        Thanks!
