P: Backspace Key Deletes Layers - Photoshop 22.5 - Windows

Just wanted this noted at Adobe...

 

Downloaded 22.5 this morning, and now when I go to manually enter values into a layer (ie Hue/Saturation) I cannot use the backspace key to delete the numerical value. It will first delete the layer mask, then delete the layer entirely.

 

This is a pain if you're doing lots of product photography, where you're replicating the same values over a large number of photos. I need to carefully highlight the number I want to change, then type in the value, without accidentally hitting the backspace key.

 

This may be a planned change, a quick way to delete a layer mask or layer, but it is not helpful for all users. 

 

I will do my workaround, but it's slowing down my output.

Appears to be Windows specific issue. I've asked engineering to take a look! We'll update this thread when a fix is available.

 

Best bet for a workaround is to roll back to the prior update using the steps here: https://adobe.ly/2wH0JjE
