P: Move tool doesn't ignore adjustment layer in 16 Bit like it does in 8 Bit

Came across this in Photoshop 23.0.0 / Windows 10 -

In an 8 bit PSD file the move tool "knows" to ignore selecting adjustment layers, while in the same file at 16 bit it keeps selecting the adjustment layers. This is true to both clipping mask and stand alone adjustment layers. It does not select the Adjustment layers in 16 bit if: no layer mask or when the layer mask attached to it has something drawn on it. Very frustrating when compositing hundreds of layers.

Does anyone have a work around? 

*Maybe this was already in older versions - I worked on 2019 until few days ago and don't remember running into this.
