Question

Text and Images duplicating in Photoshop

I just upgraded my photoshop in CC and I am having the weirdest issue.  If I open up a new document and drop a photo in it and move it slightly, it creates an image, but not a layer of the same picture underneath or overlapping.  This happens when I make text on it too.  I've found that I have to turn off a layer (usually a blank layer) and then it goes back.  However it does this EVERY TIME I do something so my work is doubling for no apparent reason and it's making my mental.

 

Attached are three sccreen shots.  First is opening a photoshop file. Second I moved the text down, which then made the same text show up without a new text layer and in the same old place.  Third is a screen shot of me turning off a completely different layer which make the text from the first capture vanish.  Now if I move that same text again, I have to go through the same process and IT SUCKS!!!!!

 

PLEASE HELP!!!

 

THANK YOU!! AND CHEERS!!!

Does turning off Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Legacy Compositing and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue? 

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Graphic Processor Settings) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

It seems like turning off the Legacy Compositing might be working.  THANK YOU SO MUCH.  It was really starting to kill me and making my work so much tougher.  Cheers and thanks again!!
