"Could not use the move tool because of a program error" HELP!

[Mayqmay]

Suddenly while I was using photoshop the layers stuck and didn't move anymore. I tried to open other files - same problem.

I shut down the photoshop and open again and it still doesn't work.

Please help me!!!!

I'm using Photoshop  cs6 version.
Could not use the move tool because of a program error keeps popping up. How do I fix this?

[lsantucci]

This same error started happening to me today. I've updated the app, I keep restarting the program and it works for a few moves and then stops and gives me the program error message. This never happened with CS6!

When this has happened to me, it's been a text layer. To fix, I select the text tool, click in the text to activate the edit bounding box. Then click enter (no changes) and select the move tool and it should now be able to be moved.

It's like it becomes locked, so by editing it, it seems to unlock it. I hope this helps.

This didn't work...

I just had the same problem. I am using Photoshop Beta.

same here with ps beta

[Greg221164639j2d]

I switched to PS 2024, not BETA, and its now fine...

[Kofi Millen]

I think the workaround is that you copy and paste. That's what I'm doing now... till Adobe fixes it.

[Ivny Coura]

Same. It's probably something with Beta. Every time it updates something gets wrong. But it's beta for a reason, right?

[jeronmolopes]

dec/23 I'm having this issue with beta, I'll try with normal version

[Greg221164639j2d]

Normal PS is fine....

[Greg221164639j2d]

yes, me too

[BerconiKyle]

Here as well. Beta only, regular PS fine. Nothing has worked to fix it.

[jeronmolopes]

A new Photoshop Beta version was released today and the problem is solved. Thanks.

[BerconiKyle]

You're right! Finally. I don't know now though- I got quite used to using copy/paste throughout the past week... bah.
