Hello, as title states, I have an issue where when using the move tool Photoshop continually highlights and tries to select whatever layer / asset the cursor is hovering over. Auto Select has been turned off and this still happens, It's very hard to work with this as I can't get to the layers I want without going into the layer menu.

Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated thanks,

@D Fosse I'm wondering if the OP is referring to the "Show layer bounds on hover" and Show hover bounds from layers"

I had the same problem and it was driving me up the wall. It just started happening in some recent upgrade. Similar to the other answer, I had the option called "show tranform controls" checked.

The automatic layer selection problem that has troubled me for a while has finally been solved.
I don't know how it is triggered without a shortcut key, and I don't think I have ever turned on the second option, but anyway, your screenshots are useful help.

Sounds like corrupt preferences and you need to reset. Remember to save out actions, brushes etc.
