Issue with shape layer colour and transformations

Since updating to Photoshop 27.3.1 shape layers have been behaving inconsistently. Running on Windows 11.

I have multiple shape layers, all different colours, which I can manipulate fine individually. But, when I select multiple layers in the layers panel, all layers change to the colour of the lowest-most layer. This issue is inconsistent, sometimes layers behave as expected and other times they don’t.

Also, some shape layers have text layers above them which are linked. If I move a shape layer, the text layer moves too as expected, but if I rotate the shape, the linked text doesn’t rotate.  

I didn’t have either of these issues until I updated.

Any help would be appreciated.
