Copying Layer - Ctrl J not working

I recently downloaded the latest versions of Lightroom and Photoshop from Creative Cloud.

When I edit in Photoshop from Lightroom, I am unable to get Ctrl J (copy layer) to work. This was not an issue with the previous releases.

If I enter Photoshop directly (not going through Lightroom) Ctrl J works without a problem.

I would appreciate your help in resolving the issue.

There us a bug with opening image from Lightroom. Open them directly in PS, until they get this fixed.

I'm having a similar problem. Nearly all my drop down menus are greyed out when I open an image from LR into PS. But when I open the image directly into PS it is ok.

This is really annoying because I start my workflow in LR. Any ideas when this might be fixed?

No idea when, but u would imagine soon, as it's a pretty big bug to a lot of people's workflow.
