De-nesting layer set bug

This is a problem I’m encountering with the new nestable layer sets.

If I try to unnest a layer set, I click and drag it out of the parent layer set, but am unable to drop it anywhere else in the layer palette except next to another layer set. If I have some layers that aren’t part of a set, I cna’t drop the nested set inbetween them: the cursor shows as a circle with a slash through it, and I can’t drop the layer. The cursor changes to a hand only if I hover over or near another layer set. Then I can drop the layer set.

A problem here is that the target to drop the set within the other layer set is much larger than the target to drop the layer next to that set. It’s much easier to drop a layer set within another set than to drop it next to another layer set. I’ve requested an interface change to address this in the feature requests forum.

Further: this isn’t just a problem with de-nesting a layer set, it’s also a problem moving a layer set within a layer set. PSCS will not allow me to move the layer set and drop it between two layers. Here are the allowed actions:

1. If the nested set is not at the top of the parent layer set, the only place I can move it to is the top of the parent layer set.

2. If it is at the top of the parent layer set, then I can drop it between other layers within the set.

This isn’t the way it should work.

I don’t have CS but I wonder if that has anything to do with blending modes you have on the layer set?

I haven’t changed any of the blending modes of the sets. They’re all boring old pass-through. But were it the case, it’s still falsified as a legitimate reason by the fact that I can get the layer set positioned the way I want, it’s just a multi-step process.
