Vector/smart object/layer leaves "ghost image"

Whenever I move/transform a vector/smart object, it leaves a "ghost image" if there's a layer below. As a matter of fact as soon as there is a vector/smart object present in the photoshop image, ANY layer I move/transform will leave a ghost image, even if it's not a vector/smart object. The only way to get rid of the "ghost image" is to turn the visibilty of the underlaying layer off and on.

 

I noticed this today, so I think it may have started with the latest update of Photoshop, have never seen it before.

Each new version of PS leads to the investigation on how to solve one or other issue. I also had this issue, thank you for clarifying. It could be sign of respect PS consumers to make some description and tips for solving these issues, so we don't search and ask it in Adobe forum
