Hi, I cant change the order of layers in any project on photoshop. When I go to drag them they just jitter and place. Neither the main window or the layer panel allows me to edit them in any way, and the layers arent locked. Please help as I cannot get any work done without this working.

I've just stumbled upon this issue, not related to any Photoshop update.

Surprisingly enough what resolved it (not permanently) was just moving the whole Photoshop window to the other screen (I work on two displays). Then when I moved it back to the main screen the locking layers problem was gone.

I suspect something with the display drivers or windows patch.

 

Windows 10 Pro 22H2

Photoshop 22.5.2.

nVidia display drivers: 473.47

got the same issue. Strange enough, I noticed in other software I'm not able to drag and drop files around. Like a download from the bottom of a chrome window. 

Ill reset my computer and see if that fixes it.
