Question

Moving multiple layers doesn't update layer mask correctly

When moving multiple layers at the same time within a group that has a layer mask applied to it, the previously visible view of the mask seems to move with the layers. When moving only a single layer within that group, the mask remains in place as expected. See video.

 

To reproduce:

- create a new document
- create a new layer and on this layer, create a rectangular selection and fill it with green
- create a new layer and on this layer, create a rectangular selection and fill it with red
- select both layers and group them
- apply a layer mask to the group, for example in the shape of a circle
- select both layers within the group and move them

Result:

The prevously visible view of the layer mask seems to move with the layers. When stopping the movement, you have to for example change the layer visibility of one of the layers to refresh the image with the correct layer mask position.

 

I've observed this behaviour for a very long time now, unfortuantely I don't remember the Photoshop version when this bug was introduced.

 

Using Windows 10 and Photoshop 25.6.0; RTX 3060 with 551.76 drivers
