PS 7 Move tool moving wrong layer

I looked through the memories and for the life of me could not see where anyone else had encountered this problem.

I use Photoshop 7 and about a month ago I noticed that when I use the move tool to move something in a layer (usually text) if I actually click on the layer and use the mouse to navigate with, it will jump to a completely different layer. If I use the arrow keys it moves fine, but sometimes I just want to click and drag and it won't let me.

For instance, if I want to move a gradient layer or a text layer, and I select it in the layer pallet then click in my document to move it, it will jumpe to a completely different layer. I've never noticed this happening until recently and was wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them when trying to make icons? And if so how did you fix it? It's really starting to drive me crazy.

[edit] Problem solved. Much thanks to icons_with_love and _jems_ for helping me figure it out :)
