P: Zooms out while trying to subtract from current selection

option+command+clicking the layer used to subtract those pixels from your selection, however, it appears this shortcut has been updated with "zoom to layer". It still subtracts those pixels, but zooms out every time, which really interrupts my workflow.

Thanks for letting me know, David - sorry you weren't able to recreate this. Must be different circumstances between us. 
Jane - Thank you for confirming that it does the same thing with a mouse! I guess it's not my tablet..Certainly hope this is fixed soon.
I forgot to include my OS - I am on Mac Catalina 10.15.1, and have the latest photoshop CC 2020 update installed.

Hi

I am using an iMac and a mouse and can confirm that it is as Lisa describes. Make a selection, then Cmd+Opt+Click a layer thumbnail and PS subtracts from the selection as it should, but also zooms which it shouldn't. This new annoying behavior was introduced with PS 2020.

I am on High Sierra with 21.0.1

This help file says what PS should do with Cmd+Opt+Click:

Howdy Lisa,

This being a bug is news to me.  And I'm the shortcut guy!  =8^O

I just tried it with a mouse and it works fine.  Heck, I TRIED to break it and it just worked.  It's gotta your Wacom.  I'd bet dollars-to-donuts that your tablet is also sending additional, spurious commands to the app.  It would hardly be the first time...

I wish I had happier news for you,
Sorry,
David

Hi David,

Yes using a wacom tablet. I exclusively work with a pen and tablet, and don't have a mouse I can test with (at least not a non-wacom mouse).

However, some other folks on the adobe community page alerted me that this was a bug, so I assume it does the same with a mouse. 

Thanks!

Howdy Lisa,

Using a tablet, right?  Which brand?  Have you tried without the tablet?

Just a hunch...  

Thanks,
David
