If a click on a layer in the layer list, that layer is selected. But when I open the Info box for that layer, no info is given. Since that layer is selected, why not automatically display the x,y,width and height values. Clicking on the actual graphic object has the chance of moving the object.

I also don't understand why after typing a whole number for a x or y position, the next time I click on it, the x and/or y coordinate has by a very slight amount as in hundreth's.

@Robert241438063fwn – With the move tool active and pressing CMD/CTRL + T as suggested by @Jeff Arola the coordinates change when changing the reference point in the toolbar. Otherwise, you would need to change the ruler origin point if that is what you mean?

Thanks Jeff. Could not find an equivalent in any pulldown menu so I would've never have found that. But for me there's still one problem: it shows the x,y for the top left corner regardless of what the refrence point is set to. Same problem with the properties panel. I would prefer that the x,y values are calculated using the refrence point setting.

You could press Cmd+T read the Info panel then hit the Esc key.

If you open the Properties panel (Window>Properties) the x,y,width and height values are always shown under Transform.
