Occasionally, when I link layer visibility, the order of the layers in the layer tree is changed for the layer that I drag to link in the Linked Layers panel. This happens when one or both layers that are linked are nested inside other layers. The layers do not have the same parent layer. The bug causes the layer that I link (the one I drag to the panel) to be moved outside of the layer it was nested in. However, I do notice that if this occurs, I can hit undo, which restores the layer position while retaining the Linked Layer status. I do not yet have a means to reproduce the issue, see video below. Sometimes the layer appears below its parent layer and sometimes it appears on top. 2022-10-23 11-26-55.mp4 While trying to record the issue, I also noticed that the order of the layers can be shuffled around. Undoing them clearly shows that the bottom layer "Parks" switched order with "Daycare and Kindergarden" that is on top of it. 2022-10-23 11-28-53.mp4 This is on Windows 10, 19044.2006.

There is a way to link layer to layer by drag-n-dropping layer to "Pixel content". It works well, but when the list of layers is big dragged layer is not only linked, but also MOVED to new location somewhere across drag. There is also two separate actions in History after that - "attach" layer" and "move" There is no such problem in Mac, layer linking cancels "drag n drop" inside layers panel. But in windows AP executes both actions - linking and "layer moving into another location" - since you have to "drag with mouse" that layer from layers outliner to links panel
