P: Duplicate Layer to new document not working correctly

Oh, I just saw the video and it seems like it's a lot of extra steps.
All it takes is from a new document, making a Color Fill layer and duplicating that to a new document duplicates it as a flattened background. However, it kept the color. When I posted previously, it was turning it white. But I'm not sure now what causes that. I am also on 21.1.3. Windows, if that matters.

oh, whoops! Looks like i needed to add another layer above the color fill, then the bug appears. I'll make sure to remind Jeff that this is still buggy.

i just tested this in 21.1.3, using the workflow in the video above and everything works as expected. 
Which version of Ps are you testing with?

What is the status on this if it's been so long? I'm sure it was last working properly months ago, not years ago. Is this a duplicate of the bug where new document from clipboard defaults to a new document with white background?
I can confirm this still happens. A Color Fill Layer, regardless of the color it is, when duplicated to a new document, always turns into a locked, white, background layer.

I've come across this too lately, and it seems to happen only if the layer being duplicated is the LAST layer in the file (any layer type- color layer, smart object, etc.), and only that layer is selected.

If the layer selected is not the last layer, or if another layer is selected along with the last layer, it works as expected.

Perfect. Thanks for doing that. I can repro now and definitely a bug.

I've attached a video capture. I'm on PS 20.0.1 on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015). Previously it would work if I didn't rename the layer but this video shows that it didn't even work with the default layer name. A coworker replicated the bug on a newer MacBook Pro, also PS 20.0.1.
I'm also having odd behavior with the lasso tool not showing the tracing as well as the transform not showing the edges. I was able to get them to show properly after several adjustments to the Graphics Processor Settings, but both of these problems are clearly bugs.

I tried reproducing, but it's working as expected for me. Could you detail the steps more clearly and which version of Ps?
