Question

Default paste out of copied position

In the latest version of PS, when I copy and paste layers or content, PS seems to paste the content out of it’s original position instead of perfectly matching where it was copied from.

Please fix this, it makes no sense to have it moved as default.

    Hi ​@PixelDeluxe,

    Thanks for reporting this. Just to clarify the workflow, are you using the regular Ctrl/Cmd + V to paste, or Shift + Ctrl/Cmd + V (Paste in Place)?
     

    For comparison, could you please try Edit > Paste Special > Paste in Place and let us know whether the content is positioned correctly when using this menu command?
     

    Paste in Place is specifically intended to preserve the position of the copied content. If the menu command works correctly but Shift + Ctrl/Cmd + V does not, we can investigate whether something is interfering with the keyboard shortcut. Occasionally, keyboard shortcuts can also be intercepted/ hijacked or remapped by third-party utilities.
     

    Let us know how it goes.
     

    Best,
    Anshul Saini
