Materials: single click on material to apply it is problematic

As of Photoshop v24, a single click on a material creates a layer in the layer stack. First, this is really unexpected and unlike most UI we are used to, selecting an object should not trigger a generation, especially here a layer, and loading of the sbsar which may take several seconds.

 

This workflow is also inconsistent relatively to the trash icon we can use to delete a custom material. We need to select it first before cliking the trash icon, but since clicking it also create a layer, basically we then need to delete that layer before deleting the material.

 

Please fix this behavior which is not even consistent with its own UI, I'd suggest double-click to apply the material as well as right click with various options (apply, delete etc.)

I figured selection of a material was done with SHIFT+left click to compensate from the fact left mouse click is actually applying the material. Ok this works, but is not intuitive at all to me.
