Option Key In Develop Mode Stopped Working

Holding the Option key (Mac) while using the Basic tab sliders in Develop mode used to show Blacks and Whites peaks when editing. Now the screen still switches to black or white, but sliding doesn't reveal any peaks on either. Without the Option key, the sliders still work. Was there a change in this functionality?

No, there was not. It still works as expected for me. Note that you will only see something change when pixels are clipping. As long as the pixels do not clip, moving the slider while holding down the option key will not change the pure white or black image.

Hello! Please tell me, when I hold down the Option key, the image does not turn black and white when editing a point of black and white. What could this be related to?

Are you talking about the same thing here? If so you have to be dragging the sliders with Option pressed to see the Black (or White) screen based on the slider you're moving.
