P: Auto-Select using the Move Tool not functioning properly

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Updated to Photoshop CC 2015. Having "Auto-Select: Layer" turned on, and using the Move Tool, when I drag over an are to auto-select multiple layers, it works fine to select those layers in that area. However, if I drag across the full canvas and then reduce my selection size, it still keeps those other layers selected, even when they're not in the "Selected" area.

I can reproduce this issue in-house.

Any chance this fix will come in the next update?
It is really annoying and cripples the workflow, since now I have to keep locking more layers and previously needed.

It's too sad that 5 month after the official response the issue is still unavailable. I hope you will resolve this problem.

Looks like Photoshop 2015.1.1 Update May have fixed this.

Yes. Sorry. This was marked fixed.
