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

When I contacted Adobe about this, I was told my aggravation and the disruption of my workflow from Zoom to Content were "not typical", which didn't sound to me like they plan on addressing this anytime soon. Let's hope they do before I pull *all* my hair out.

Great to see you are looking to fix this issue. 🙂

Up until this version, Option-clicking (on Mac) would expand and collapse all (nested) layer groups without messing with the current zoom level of the canvas. Since the latest version, Photoshop also zooms in on the canvas for no reason.

Please give us a switch on the zoom to layer content when collapsed all layers or effect on layers. It drives me crazy all the time.

I sincerely hope this will be fixed quickly, and that Adobe don't spend the length it took to add the uniform transform off option.  It was ok to wait for that one as it had a workaround - this one don't. This problem is really disrupting my workflow, especially for adding a shape to a mask with ctrl+shift+alt drag . I thought ctrl+shift worked, but that inverts the mask and makes it cumbersomme as well.
And honestly, if you are used to zoom with keyboard shortcuts and a tablet, this new "auto zoom" feature is not needed at all.

WHenever I make a mask from a shape in Photoshop CC 2020, the whole canvas zooms into that shape and makes it fill the entire canvas. This is really annoying when I work with a lot of shapes and want to use them as vector mask layers. I have to zoom out all the time. How can I disable this behaviour?

If they can make it work without disrupting other workflows, then great.  If not just give us a way to turn it off.  Sort of like the way they "improved" the Transform tool earlier.  Now at least they give us an easy way to turn it off.

PS V21 introduced the "Zoom to Layer Content" shortcut with pressing Alt key while clicking on the layer group. Whoever at Adobe decided this was a good idea I'd like a word with you! Why do this when there are already several other perfectly good ways to zoom in/out? Like "Ctrl+/-", which works great.

And of course there is no way to turn this zoom to layer shortcut off. Seems someone at Adobe forgot that holding "Alt" while clicking a layer group is how we collapse/expand layers! I usually work on files with several art boards, each with many layer groups. It's crucial for me to be able to collapse/expand my layer groups from the view I'm in. Now when I try to expand/collapse a layer group, the whole thing zooms all the way in???? No bueno, Adobe.

Please please enable an opt-out of this shortcut option in the preferences panel, or change the shortcut to some other key combination, or better yet: just get rid of it, because it's unnecessary.

Oh, I really don't want them to take an "easy way out" by just making it something we can turn off. I want to be able to use the feature without zooming in all the time when I use the Opt/Alt key with the layers panel.  I don't want to have to constantly enable and disable it all the way through one single composite of 50 layers. That would be SO annoying. Worse than this.

You can have fun trying to copy a layer with  Opt/Alt drag, too. <BG> It does do the copy, though.
