P: Alt-Clicking arrows next to groups zooms to the group

Due to the new feature to zoom to a layer's contents in Photoshop v21.0.0, it now conflicts with the feature to auto-collapse or expand all of a group's folders by Alt-Clicking on the arrow next to the folder icon. Now, it still does the action, but while zooming into the group at the same time. I like the new feature, but it should only work when alt-clicking on any other part of the layer.
This zoom feature also always stacked like it does now on all layers when the arrow next to Artboard layers were alt-clicked in previous versions. It would zoom and collapse layers under it.

    Yes I have updated to 21.0.2, and it still has a this problem when modifying selections using any shortcuts that include "Alt" in the layer palette.

    So it's still broken. I constantly use layers to make selections, and if that still changes the zoom, the issue isn't fixed.

    The 21.0.2 update does address the zooming issue when collapsing groups, even Artboards! However, the issue persists when subtracting from a selection using the layer's pixels.

    Have you installed the 21.0.2 update that was released last night. It has a change that should fix this issue.

    This added feature destroys my workflow, adding new steps. Please just give us the option to disable it. Some people may want it, but as I see here, plenty need it to go away.

    ALT was the wrong key for this feature. As others have said, collapsing layers conflicts with the new zoom feature. I've also found myself unintentionally clipping and unclipping layers because of it.

    Hello !

    I usually use the shortcuts :
    Ctrl as Select All
    Ctrl + Shift as Add selection (+)
    Ctrl + Alt as Substract selection (-)
    Ctrl + Alt + Shift as Xor selection (x)

    And the shortcuts with Alt are Zooming..

    Hello! This "Zoom" feature is pretty annoying, when you want to just collapse the layers. You could just remove the arrow area from this feature settings - it could do the trick. 😉
    I am very pleased to see you are looking to fix it. I hope, you will fix this issue early.
    THX! 😉

    They really need to train their customer service folk better. (sigh)

    Of course it's a major annoyance and of course Adobe folk on the PS team know that by now. Enough here alone have already described the problem. So it will get changed—how or when is something they never tell us, and I'll just hope for all our sakes that it's before you have pulled all your hair out. LOL
