Can't move layers into a new window - Photoshop [2017]

[RachelMellema]

Hi,

Before I used to be able to drag layers from one window into another, to make a copy into another document. But for some reason I can't anymore. Help please! I have Adobe Photoshop CC 2017.

Kind Regards
Rachel

Why? I just wanted a reason why they broke this

A reason ?  A bug appeared in one version and it was fixed in the next.

It is 2022, I have version 2023 and am having the same issue as of yesterday. I can no longer drag a layer to another window. I have done everything suggested on this thread to no avail. Now my 'move' tool seems not to be working. I have uninstalled the program just to reinstall it three times. Please tell me this will be fixed ASAP

I can't replicate that issue in the current version (v24.0.0)

If resetting preferences does not resolve it for you (that is still required even after re-install) then can you record a screen video showing your exact steps.
