Adobe Substance Painter Update unnecessarily complicated zooming

Ever since I installed the new Substance Painter update today, I am unable to zoom in by scrolling my mouse wheel while holding ALT.
In earlier versions this didn't matter, and since rotating and panning requires you to press ALT anyways, it's much easier to keep it pressed while zooming, too.

However, since this update, nothing happens when holding alt and scrolling, instead you need to zoom in with the right mouse button which is slower, or let go of alt.
Please at least give us an option to revert this, since it slows me (and I assume others too) down a LOT, and since ALT+Scroll isn't a shortcut used by anything else either.

    Yes, like mentioned above, it works when letting go of alt.
    This messes with my muscle memory though and since ALT+scroll is not used by any other function, there's no reason for it to not work to scroll.
    It's just a little thing, but keeping it in only has advantages

    Did you try to use just scrolling without using Alt key?
