Auto-select not opening the layer folders.

[LecoAlex]

as someone who use hundreds of layers and never names then, the Auto select feaure is very important.

in the recent updates I noticed than If I use the move tool, and try to click on the canvas, on an element that is inside a closed layer folder, the folder wont open and i'm left not knowing where the layer is.

I'm sorry because of the auto-updates i'm not sure when this issue started.

Photoshop version 25.11.0 functions as expected on Windows. Have you tried resetting the preferences to resolve the issue?

With the Move Tool selected, in the tool options bar, click on the gear icon then click Expand Layer Group on Click
