Layers keep moving together inside a group even though they are not linked

Mac mini pro/ PS 25.5.0 / OS 14.2.1

 

When layers are in a group the move in sync. A work around i found is press Ctrl/cmd+t and then move the layer.

Another possiblity is to take the layers out of the group and after moving them around, return them to the group.

I was having this issue but fixed it by ensuring that Auto-Select is set to 'Layer' not 'Group' in the Move Tool options bar. Seems they may have changed the default to 'Group'.

      Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible?

        Hi Michael,

         

        Thanks for this, but Ctrl/cmd+t suggestion doesn't work for me... maybe I'm doing it wrong - your second siggestion is good but it's all so heavy handed, and I don't get why it's happening? Is it due to recent update do you think? Yours is the only reference to the problem I can find... are there any other discussions anywhere?

        Why do they do it, though? This has only started happening in a recent update because it didn't happen previously. Is there someway to turn this feature off?

        Hi jodpea, I've got the same problem all of a sudden - didyou find an answer or solution, other than the obvious workaround suggested above?

         

        Talk soon I hope, cos it's really annoying,
