P: Move Tool - Toggle auto select shortcut changed

Hello. The changed shortcuts to toggle the autoselection of layers with the move tool selected is highly frustrating to me. I used to have a great workflow with auto select turned on and used cmd to drag elements that were either off-canvas or too small / too transparent to grab them. Now it seems to be inverted: I need to turn auto select off to toggle with cmd. When it is turned on, cmd seems to toggle now between layer and group auto selection.
I can't understand why this was changed or is at least not something I can switch between in the preferences.

Thanks you very much for looking into this.

Sorry, I don't know what happened... I already installed Yosemite and still working like always. It was just for a single day the chaos.

Hi, I don't know, just become to normal last night, I don't made any upgrade or something like that. Only restart the apps. Good luck!

Just want to chip in that I find this change an utter annoyance too. It really is a mayor slowdown to my workflow.

Agree — this is EXTREMELY frustrating. Please PLEASE turn it back to the way it was before the update or at least give me a way to toggle this on or off or set a preference for what the cmd key does with the move tool. I have years of muscle memory on this work flow and it's totally messed it up with this seemingly small update.
