Duplicate layers jumping to top of canvas outside of artboard

I just installed the latest version of Photoshop (20.0.0 release) and I was working as usual until this happened. If I duplicate any layer or group within an artboard using the right click menu>duplicate layer/group, the duplicated image or group will appear on the top left of the canvas, outside the artboard itself. I read about a similar issue before and I experienced something similar once (layers jumping on top of other layers on the same artboards, but not losing position). This was quickly resolved on the next update. I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything to activate this weird behaviour, but anyone may have a fix for it? It's very annoying and inconvenient, for the moment I'm only able to duplicate single layer (no groups) using the Ctrl+J command (windows) to keep them in the same place as usual.
Any help? I couldn't find the same issue on the forums but maybe this happened before?
Thanks!!

This is a bug in 20.0.0 which has been fixed in development builds. A fix is in the pipeline for these specific bugs:

  • Layer Panel: Dragging a layer cell to the new layer icon at the bottom of the Layer Panel.
  • Duplicate Layers Dialog: selecting a layer and then using the main menu or context menu. If you duplicate to the same artboard (e.g. Artboard 1 to Artboard 1), the layer may duplicate to (hidden) canvas coordinates instead. Auto-nesting into another artboard may follow.
  • ctrl-J/cmd-J when more

Sorry it didn't work! I thought I solved the problem but the issue appeared again today after a few days of working perfectly. I really don't know what causes it. So bad you have the same problem!!

  • ctrl-J/cmd-J when more than one layer is selected (e.g. a group)

In the meantime, try Option-Drag to duplicate the layer, either on-canvas or in the Layer Panel.
