Why does Photoline need to work like Photoshop? I prefer this method because it stops you from inadvertently moving a layer. You need to first select it then move it. Many cad applications work like this so items are not moved accidentally. I would much rather an option to pick one behavior or the other. Different from Photoshop does not mean it is a bug.

Seems to be a bug. Recent versions of PL support click-and-drag in principle, but apparently this doesn't work if you click on the transparent area of the active layer. In your case, probably the layers cover the entire background. Click-and-drag also doesn't seem to work if you click on the part of a vector outline outside the associated layer.

It does work WHEN a layer underneath is not already active, you are clicking the top layer, and there is no layer overlap.

If you crop both layers down to the actual pixel size (Layer-->Layer Size (Crop Size)) there is less of a problem. It can also be truly useful to be able to move an already selected layer lower in the layer stack.

But you are correct that the current implementation feels half finished in some way.
