P: PS 26.9 CMD shortcuts give duplicate results

Photoshop Beta version 26.9 on MacOS 15.5

- Pressing Cmd + [ or Cmd + ] moves layers **two steps** instead of one.
- Cmd + J creates **two new layers**, not one.
- Issue persists after reinstalling and resetting preferences.
- Not caused by actions/scripts/custom shortcuts.

- Issue is only on Beta Version, not in normal version.

PS Beta 26.9.0 = Command + Z OR Shift + Command + Z = completes 2x steps instead of 1, I'm using macOS Sequoia 15.5

@Venusian creatives why are you using Photoshop Beta for your everyday work? Photoshop Beta is for testing and trying out new features before they are officially released to the general public development work. Switch to the regular Photoshop, and the Undo's shouldn't be a problem

Please fix this sooner than later! Should be top of the list. It really puts a damper on processing flow, have to use alternate method or delete duplicate - for seasoned users SUPER annoying

This just started. If I paste something that creates a layer, it creates 2 layers. If I do Cmd J, it creates 2.

'Command J' now creates 2 duplicate layers, this should ony make 1 duplicate.
