[Can't auto scroll layers in Affinity Designer 2]

Welcome to the forums @Cobra Commander

The “Auto-scroll” option you are referring to is used to auto-scroll the Layers Panel to show the layer which has been selected on the canvas, and is still there in V2 (as can be seen in your video).

What is happening in your video seems to be related to something else, but I don’t know what and I cannot replicate it.
Sometimes, after dragging lots of layers, I get a very apparent slow-down (fixable by a re-launch of the application) but I’ve not been able to get into a situation where I cannot scroll the Layers Panel at all while dragging a layer.

The problem seems to be similar to this issue from a while back: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/163166-layers-stack-suddenly-stopped-moving-when-repositioning-layers/

Can you try dragging the Layers Panel out of the Panel Group, so it’s a non-docked panel on its own (you can put it back later), and then do what you are doing? Does that make a difference?

Thanks for the reply, yeah dragging the layers panel out of the panel group didn't change anything. I eventually had to restart my PC and it seemingly has worked....for now lol

I can no longer auto scroll layers when trying to move a layer in the layers panel. It just stopped working all of a sudden. Resetting Designer doesn't work. Also Auto Scroll is turned ON. Apparently in V1 there was an auto scroll option in settings, but in V2 that option has been removed. I've seen this topic addressed before, but no resolution yet.
