I used to be able to drag text with my mouse. Now, out of the blue, when I click on a text layer and try to move it with my mouse, CS automatically deselects my text layer and selects the background layer or a shape. Why is it automatically deselecting the text layer and selecting the background?! Mad So, I can only move text with my arrow keys!

Any idea on what's going on and how I can fix this? It's very annoying!
Cry

TIA!

Try restoring default preferences it can sometime clear up PS weirdness.

Make sure you don't have automatically select layer checked on top..
