Photoshop CC 2019 Pixel Glitch

I'm having an issue where if I move things in my photoshop file they seem to get cut off by an imaginary line. It's almost as if the copy were in a clipping mask and it's cutting it off but it's not in a clipping mask. It's happening in multiple areas of my file, and it is not just a previewing issue it saves the file that way as well. It seems to be fine if I move it two pixels and back one which is a quick fix but when you have to fix it multiple times just to export a file it is not super convenient. Any help?

Hello, I'm having a similar issue when working, pixels keep moving on their own :

I did check the Legacy Compositing in the preferences and it worked, thank you for posting that! Hope it gets fixed soon.

Same issue on our end as well.  Reverting to the old compositing engine works...hope Adobe reverts the setting for us when they fix it otherwise whatever the benefit was with the new engine will be lost for those of us who switched to the old one.  If any.

Checking the Legacy Compositing checkbox fixed this for me too. Thank you for posting!

I definitely think Adobe needs to address this, unless I had seen this forum post I would still be annoyed by this glitch.

I'm having this problem as well, and it's massively slowing down my work. 2018 did not do this.

My document is just some simple layers. No masks are applied anywhere, in any way. If I nudge a layer that is doing this, it will temporarily correct the issue. However, since I'm working in an animation... each time I return to the frame with the 'bugged' layers, the issue returns. I can nudge them again, two pixels to the side, then back... it fixes it till I switch frames again. The gif export preview shows the flaws as well.

UPDATE: Figured out a workaround. Go to Preferences > Performance and check 'Legacy Compositing'. The issue goes away and it no longer weirdly clips layers. Sounds like a major fix needs to be applied here.

    Thank you for the legacy solution, making old style animated gif banners turned into a nightmare.

    @Adobe; check your stuff better, this is not the only glitch in CC.

      I'm thinking this is not GPU related as the problem is there in the saved file, although to clarify, is that saved as a layered PSD/TIFF, or flattened JPG ? 

      I don't know what might be going on, but can you provide system information like operating system.  Or even Help > System info > Copy and paste to this thread.

      Before you worry about System info, can you paste a full screen, full res, screen shot showing the layers panel.  Try to  have the most relevant layer selected — that might not be straight forward depending on goodness knows what, but you'll know to make a good guess at it.

      So Operating System, Screen shot, and maybe later, system info

      It is macOS High Sierra 10.13.6

       

      Here's my layers:

       

      You can see it's doing it to both copy layers...
