After upgrade, select multiple layers does not work

[TJHouse]

After upgrading to Sonoma 14.0 and Photoshop 2024, 25.1.0 Release, I can no longer select more than one layer in the Tabs to move them. The space bar and command key shortcuts do not work. I can no longer draw a straight line when holding down the space bar.

Hi @TJHouse shift key is the shortcut for drawing straight lines, not space. Try resetting your preferences https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#reset-preferences

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the reply. I meant to type the shift key, apologies. I've tried resetting preferences, but it doesn't work.

@TJHouse how are you selecting more than one layer? In the Layers panel? Do you mean that they deselect when you try to move or transform after selecting them?

Hi Kevin,

I shut down my iMac, Cintiq, restarted, and reset the preferences per the help directions. Selecting the layers with the shift key works now. Thanks!
