New layers I create won't move

Hi @EvilMadness is it possible to share some screenshots of what you are seeing?

It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.

Still no luck I've tried another time using 25.2 Photoshop Beta. Still will not allow me to move layers using the "Free Tranform" option, but will move layers with the "Move Tool. This was done with a CLEAN INSTALL of Photoshop BETA 25.2. On other OLDER BETAS like 25.1 Photoshop Beta the "Free Transform" option with smart object layers works perfectly fine. To be safe I've been using the Stable Verson of Photoshop 25.1. OUTSIDE of the testing I did where I clean installed Photoshop Beta 25.2. I'm convinced that their's a bug in the Beta as I stated to the so called "Community Expert" the other day.Hopefully the development team will fix this issue soon in a update possibly in Photoshop Beta 25.3

Please reread what I said, it wasn't happening on EARILER Betas. I haven't changed any settings before I updated to the lastest Beta 25.2 from 25.1 Photoshop Beta. Plua I clean installed it just to be sure it wasn't something I may of done from before and am still having the same issues. It's a frash intall NO NEW Preferences other then what was defaulted already....... Their is a bug.... in the latest BETA.

We cross posted there, and it sounds like you have had a decent go at fixing it, but the beta is definitely not as stable as 25.1.  If you look through a few threads in this forum, you'll see Cory (Adobe employee) suggesting a manual Preference reset in a LOT of threads.

Good luck.

That's what comes from being Evil. 😉 

Is this happening with every document and every layer?

You haven't got a dialog box off screen waiting for input?  I have fallen foul of that one more than once!

It sounds properly broken, so I would go straight to resetting Preferences, and probably do so manually.

***Update***

To be clear all my work is backed up. I was using Version 25.2 of the Betas. Over an hour later still no luck fixing the problem. I have installed the latest Stable Verson 25.1 of Photoshop. I have no problems all my settings work perfectly. Version 25.2 has an issue moving layers where if you create a smart object out of a new layer it will not let you do anything with it..... you can use the "Move Tool" no problem, but when you try and "Free Tranform" it and try and warp the layer it will not do anything....
