I'm so glad to hear from folks that the solution I posted, building on what Cory showed, has helped folks out, but can someone please tell me how I turn off notifications of new postings?  I checked the "email me when someone replies" button but I can't find anywhere in this thread on how to turn that off now.  For any who haven't seen this easy step-by-step solution that has worked for a number of people here, it's at https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-beta-bugs/p-bracket-keys-not-changing-brush-size/idc-p/14713609#M16536 (faster than searching through all these pages to find it instead, lol).

This actually solved all of the sizing problems ... brush, brackets, remove tool, clone tool, etc.  So thank you very much.

this is a known issue.

 

The team is aware of this and will have a fix in an upcoming release.

 

Temp workaround is to remove new addition of Key Board Short Cut for layer boundary.

This is really very important shortcut we use very frequently. Pressing Alt+right click drag makes my work slower. Adobe must fix this issue asap. Thanks!

Made a new workspace and got my controls back. I think you only lose it in the essentials workspace.

Same.  I just ran the update and now the bracket doesn't work for resizing brushes either.  Gotta go up top and manually adjust.  This has to be an quick and easy fix, right???

the brackets can no longer be used to enlarg or shrink brush size.

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

I updated to PS Beta 25.11 and lost the ability to change my regular brush and remove tool size using the short cut keys [ or ] or the wheel on my Wacom tablet. I can only change but using the slider in the brush properties dropdown menu for brush and the tool menu for the remove tool . Super inconvenient and lots more time and guessing on brush size.
