Question

Moving or resizing an object makes a visual duplicate of later

Whenever I use the move tool, whether it's resizing an object or moving it, the object is making a visual duplicate on my screen, pictures to hopefully help clarify:

And if you look at the layer on the right, you see that the layer isn't showing the duplicate, but no matter what I seem to do it's not going away, this is especially annoying when trying to resize text, what should I do?

Does disabling Legacy Compositing and restarting help--like the solution in this thread https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop/photoshop-making-unwanted-duplications/td-p/11241833?page=1?

Hey, I did try that, however it didn't work.  Instead, I "reset all preferences on close" and it did work.  it also fixed the crash on blending options problem too, thank you 😄

Hi, please try to update to 21.2.1, as one of the listed bug fixes is for this very problem, and please report if it worked: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/fixed-issues.html#photoshop-desktop-fixed-issues

(but leaving legacy off is the best option going forward, anyways)
