The move tool isn't working, it selects rather than moves. Though it will move the background.

If I create a new layer from background, it will move the background, regardless of what layer I have selected.  If I lock the background, it goes back to just selecting.  What gives?

Thanks.  That worked.  How do I get it to drag smoothly instead of jumping like it's in a grid?

I found that if I hold the ctrl key and drag it, it moves, but not smoothly.  Why is it doing this?
