Question

Move tool doesn't work.

Does really no one fixed the bug that is in the Photoshop since two versions back? When I try to use my move tool to drag element from point A to point B. When I drag it to point B it returns it to the point A for no reason. It's so annoying. 

 

Could you please fix it?

Many thanks.

Which input device are you using – mouse, tablet, …?

Can you rule out that the specific input device and/or its drivers might be causing the malfunction?

    Hello @MileM ,

    Just to let you know that Adobe has just sent out a new Photoshop update claiming 'bug fixes.' You could check to out now.

    Hello,

    maybe try and download the an older verson before this problem started. 

    (This is in the Creative Cloud desktop app)

    Try that and let me know what happens.

      @Ged_Traynor yes, I did all of that, and it doesn't work. It started to happen two updates ago. I never had that before. 
      Thanks for the advice, but that one in particular doesn't work.

      @MileM I'm not seeing the issue on my system with Photoshop version 26.4.1, have you tried resetting the Tools

      If that doesn't help, try manually resetting your Photoshop preferences

      Remember to back up your settings before doing the preference reset
