Ghosting of previous text or previous image on Photoshop 21.2 on macOS 10.15.5

[waltoncreative]

In a layered document with text on the top and a coloured layer below, as I edit the text the PREVIOUS text is still there - as a ghost of the previous text.

Even when I click return the new text and the ghost text is still there - at the same opactity.

The same thing happens with a cut out image layered on top of other images. If I make changes to the layers behind the previous layers still appear.

I have found the only way to stop the ghosting is to drag the layer beneath, then do an undo. The screen then correctly displays the file. Even resizing or dragging the file to the edge of the screen forcing a screen redraw don't work.

I am using the latest version of Photoshop 21.2.0 on iMacPro using 10.15.5.
