Photoshop 2020 - cannot click on Create New Layer button

[#1]

Hi! I have seen that the icon new layer has changed. Now it's a square with a + in the middle. The problem is that most of the time i can't click on it... i can't figure out why! Can you help? 

Also a COMPLETE (not just 10 or 11)  guide of the updates would be great....

Wasn't this logged as a bug? I recall seeing this a few days ago.

Meanwhile, use Shift + Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) + N or use Layer > New > Layer on the menu bar.

Not sure about a formal bug being submitted but here's a previous forum post on this issue:

Hello, try to update to Ps 21.1.2, it has a fix for this very issue: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/fixed-issues.html#photoshop-desktop-fixed-issues

I'm on 21.2.1 and it stopped working today.

Golly gee its not working again Oh Well......

Guess I won't get my work done today and miss my deadline.......

What is wrong with you people?

Every year this gets worse and worse, you care more about the $$$ you make in profit then putting out quality releases. Ive been using PS since the SGI days and as an art director for more years than I want to remember.

There are so many issues with the new version it is taking hours of production time and my $$$ to get anything done.

Really get your testing together and pay someone to test don't just throw it to the market and wait for us to do your job! You make enough money you should have dedicated staff testing, not in India but in the US, and have at least one person who knows and uses photoshop supervising.

You waste my time, the teams time, and our hard-earned $$$.

Not having the duplicate layer and all these other bugs are just inexcusable for what we pay for this product.

Come down from your S.F. pedestal and do your job finally.

What's not working again? The "Create a new layer" icon in the Layers panel?

I agree! Well said!

Well, it's 2021 I'm using the newest version and got precisely the same problem just now...
