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.

Also PS 2020 is freezing so often. It hasn't been this buggy in years. I'm switching back to 2019. Just not enough nice new features to be worth it.

Hopefully it will get fixed quickly. Or at least give us the option to turn it off.

I was just about to mention this too. It takes over everything! I guess we just have to deal with this until it is addressed.

Yes, how do we turn this off? It also annoyingly zooms when subtracting a selection by command-option clicking on the layer thumbnail. It's driving me nuts!

Can you add a way to turn off the ‘Zoom to Layer Content’ feature. I use Option + Click to collapse folders and this is getting really annoying that it zooms in every time i do that. It also does it when you want to deselect a layer from a selection on the artboard by "option + command + clicking" the layer icon.

I understand the benefit of this feature, but it also has many flaws since option + clicking on a layer already has features that this is conflicting with. Please just add an option in preferences to turn it off.

I am having the same issue. Also is causing a problem when duplicating a layer mask by option dragging it onto a different layer. The problem is compounded by the fact that my entire photoshop window is also resizing even though I have resize window on zoom disabled in the preferences.

I like the new zoom to layer content when alt-clicking on a layer. But it needs some tweaking.

The standard to expand or collapse everything grouped inside a layer group is alt-clicking the chevron icon. This helps a lot in keeping the overview when working with many layers. However, at this moment when I'm zoomed in to the right place and want to tidy up my layers view, Photoshop takes me to a whole new zoom level.

Expected interaction:

Alt-click on the layer name and empty space = zoom to layer content.
Alt-click on chevron icon = expand/collapse, without zoom to layer content.

This tweak would be a great addition! Thanks.

Zoom occurs when alt-opening/closing folders in layer palette.
If no layer is selected, it zoom to "fill screen". If a layer /folder is selected, it zooms to "fill screen" to its dimensions.

Hi Hugo, thanks. I've asked engineering to take a look.
