How do I stop Photoshoot from selecting a shape path when I click on a retangle

Thanks for the reply. The lay is made up of a 'retangle' which has a mask applied to it. When the problem happens it doesn't matter if i click on the retangle or the mask in the layers pannel, photoshop selects the path and trying to rezise the layer results in the retangle being resized but not the mask. I have figured out that when the problem happens if i click on the retangle tool, and then press enter i am able to rezise both retangle and mask. The issue is never present when opening the file, i click on the layer and check the path panel and there's no temp path, but at some point that changes. i click on the layer, and the blue outline appears around the retangle and there's a temp path in the path panel. I don't know what triggers it or what stops it.
