Problem with unlocked/ungrouped layers behaving like they are locked in Illustrator

I am having a problem with unlocked and ungrouped layers behaving like they are locked. I have two layers that are moving together after selecting just one of them to move. They are NOT locked and are NOT grouped. I just want to move one layer at a time, not the two layers together. How do I fix this?!!!

    I actually solved the problem on my own. I was using the wrong move tool. That was creating the problem.

    Hello @Chitownartistgirl,

     

    Sorry to hear about your experience. Is Illustrator behaving this way with all files? If yes, kindly try running Illustrator under a different administrator account (Windows / macOS) to check if it helps.

     

    If not, kindly share a sample file (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/share-your-files-in-6-simple-steps/td-p/12967531) and a screen recording of the problem (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/screen-record-an-issue-on-windows-amp-macos-for-sharing/td-p/12967727), so we can investigate this further?

     

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

     

    Thanks,

    Anubhav

    Thanks, I tried to do waht you said about uploading a file for you to look at but I got this  message: 

    "After February 1, 2024 you won’t be able to sync files with your local folder. We recommend downloading your files and storing them in a location of your choice. All synced files will be permanently deleted after March 2, 2024."
    So I guess that I won't be able to share a link to my file with you that way.  I will try the screen recording instead.
