New update has all my settiings messed up!

Trying to work tonight and I feel like giving up!  My images/tabs are all sticking together and even disappearing on me.  No matter how I set it in Wiindow/Arrange, it does what it wants to do which is mostly attach them all together like a magnet.

Also, I have these little blue lines around everything popping around like a pin ball machine!  Very distracting.  Where can we got to officially complain? And please help me fix these problems.

 

BTW  Will the problem with the transform tool be solved soon?  Bad enough we don't have an undo button, now no transform control button.

    Okay, I'lll try to explain.   The first screen shot shows how the tabs/images are "stuck" together.  The second shot shows how I want them to be.  I can change it with Windows/Arrange/ Float windows but it just goes back to the "sticking together" as soon as I move an image too close to another.  So is there another way in Preferences to change this to stay?  Before the last update, it was like I wanted it.


    Try two preference settings: "open as tabs", and "enable floating window docking". Turn on or off as desired.

    (not at my machine, so can't remember exact wording).

    What are your settings for the Move Tool? 

    Edit: Sorry, @Trevor.Dennis , I had missed that you had elaborated on those settings already.

    It might be easier to understand your workspace and document windows issue if you showed us a screen shot of your entire workspace.

     

    The blue lines are called Hover Layer Bounds.  This Page shows you how to use them.

    You can turn them off in the Options Bar

     

    Can you be specific about your Free Transform Issue? AFAIK it is working OK.  Least ways I am not having any problems.

      Thank you, the hover bounds have been removed.  🙂 The free transform feature used to have a toggle button on the tool bar.  Now we have to go to settings and click it on each time we need it. This was discussed in another thread.

      Now, can you please tell me how to keep my images from combining?  I want separate tabs like it was before the last update.  There must be some setting for this but I can't find it.

      Why not just hit ctrl-T when you want to transform the selected Layer/s? 

      »Show Transform Controls« has seemded to me quite a problematic setting for a long time and the fewer people use it the better as far as I am concerned.
