No Drag & Drop Layers in PSE22?

Hello,

 I am trying out PSE22 and wonder, that simple Drag and Drop of Laers into another Tab is not possible? As the Help-Site says "Use the Move tool (Select section of the toolbox), to drag the layer from the source image to the destination image.", I suggest it should work like I know it from my older Version. Are there Workarounds that do not make more clicks? Will Adobe fix this soon?

. . .  or you can hide all of the layers except the one you want to move from the source file, select the target file tab and then click and drag the thumbnail of the source file from the photo bin to the target file.  Only the non-hidden source layer(s) will transfer.

 

Or you can allow floating windows in expert mode via Preferences:

 

Or you can use the Duplicate Layer method.

It should still work as before.

 

It might be easier if you first arrange the docments side by side by going to Window>Images>Tile, then drag from one document window to the other.
