Question

Moving masked groups won't refresh correctly

Hello 

 

I can't move groups with layers separately from their inlinked masks, it just won't refresh correctly, I have to hide and then unhide the group to refresh. It is really frustrating as I need this feature to finish my work. I also checked and this issue still occures on several older versions that are available at Creative Cloud.

I have latest Photoshop version installed, as well as latest video card drivers. Checked on two different graphic cards - 1080 ti and 1070. 

This works perfectly fine on several PC's at work with old versions like cs6 or cc2014. 

 

To recreate it just create group with layers, add some mask, unlink the mask and try to move the group only.

Good grief, not another Layer Group bug. 
I can reproduce.

    Update: This has to do with Photoshop compositing engine. this somewhat works correctly when switched to 'old compositing' in version  21.2.12. But it is still very buggy, glitches constantly, for example groups are dissapearing depending on current zoom level ;(

    Are you running Photoshop 22.5.1? All reported compositing engine issues were worked out in the prior version.

    Hello Jeffrey,

    Yes I am using Photoshop version 22.5.1 now.

    It seems that only workaround for now is  is using 'Free Transform' instead of 'Move' Tool to move groups without bugs. But this works considerably slower than 'Move'.

    It is really easy to recreate, just create group with more than one layer for example two whie backgrounds, create mask, unlink this group from its mask - (mask could be smoething like white circle with black baground) and try to move group without mask. I am wondering if you will have the same issues.
