Layer displaying twice after moving / transforming

I am running up-to-date version of Photoshop.

 

When I move or transform a layer, the layer shows in its original position AND its new position - so 2 layers show, as if you have duplicated the layer. See attached screenshot.

But look in the layers panel - the layer is not duplicated. The original layer display only disappeares  when you move the layer again, eg if I nudge the layer it appears to fix the problem, although  actually it's still displaying 2 layers, just 2 layer right next to each other, so the duplication isn't abvious.

 

This seems to be a display / processing issue.

 

Any ideas?

Thanks photoshop community!

Have you tried to uncheck Legacy Compositing by going to the Preferences > Performance.

Thanks for your replies. I reinstalled PS which seems to have fixed it... I'll try your method if the problem comes back 🙂

I think this is just a display issue. What happens if you change your zoom to refresh the screen draw?
