Layer issue, Photoshop 2020 21.2.0

[elarat73621645]

Just installed update this morning (2020 21.2.0) and this problem started right away!!!

I attached a screenshot of the original photo with one layer (handwriting on graph paper) set on multiply (you see a second --photoshop created?--solid layer behind it). This opaque "layer" is almost an artifact or state history. I want it gone!!! When i try to move layer 1  the opaque one does not move. 

I add multiply layers to my work all the time and this is now super annoying!!!!! I have checked  Legacy Compositing in preferences. no help.

Please help someone!!!

WHY DID I EVER UPDATE this stupid thing

In Preferences>Performance, have you tried turning off Legacy Compositing? Here are two articles that might be helpful:

Let us know if that takes care of the issue!
