I need help with weird Layers issue. Might be a bug??

Hi everyone, I am having weird issues with my layers in both CS6 and CC 2015. Whenever I make a change to one layer (adding a filter, inverting the image, anything) that is the layer that photoshop will continue to display. If I select another layer, the layer I just changed will continue to display. It is like photoshop freezes and is unresponsive to the selecting of other layers. I found this problem weird and just happened recently. I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue. I am running mac sierra 10.12.6. MacBook pro (retina, 13-inch, mid 2014). 2.6 GHz intel core i5. PLEASE anyone with a possible solution to this.

Hi

Your screenshot looks normal.

Both layers are opaque - so with blending mode set as normal and opacity 100%  only the top layer will be visible. Imagine looking down through the stack - the only way you will see a layer below is if you introduce transparency on the upper layer (either on the layer itself or via a mask)

Can you show a couple of screenshots demonstrating the issue and including both your image and layers panel

Hi Dave,

Thank you for the reply. Here are some of the screenshots. Here as you can see I inverted the background layer and I could not display it on the screen. However when I inverted the layer 1 photoshop displayed it. I then selected the background layer but photoshop was still "stuck" on layer 1. If I add more layers, photoshop will still be stuck on layer 1.
