21.1.0 update: "Resize Window to Fit" no longer working

As it says on the can.. after the 21.1.0 update this morning the "Resize Windows to Fit" option for zooming no longer functions. You could break half of Photoshop and I wouldn't notice, but not this bit! Running Win 7 Pro and haven't tried a Win 10 version yet (main workstation still on Win 7).

This just started happening for me after updating to version 25.1.

    I'm using 25.5 (new install) and it's driving me crazy.

    To wrap this issue up: It wasn't a functionality bug, it was a keyboard shortcut issue, fixed in the latest update from Adobe (as at 20/03/2020). Previously, using the ALT-CTRL (-/+) zooming keys would resize the window even if "resize window to fit" was switched OFF - i.e. it was an override key combination.  I thought the issue was related to Win 10 vs Win 7 but perhaps it was digitiser-related instead, as Adobe's release notes for the latest update say: "...fixes to using keyboard shortcuts with drawing tablets ...".  I can't confirm if this issue was also a problem on the Fruit Computer, but if you've noticed it on Mac then maybe grab the latest update.

    On Windows 10 Photoshop 2020 version 21.1.0 fit to screen works as before.

    Yep, I tried it on a laptop running Win 10 and it works OK there, so it's perhaps a Win 7 issue or an installation-specific issue. It definitely ONLY occurred after updating Photoshop today.

    Have you tried resetting the Photoshop preferences?

    Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings. The new preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop.

    Haven't tried that as yet, I'm loathe to lose my preferences unless that's definitely going to be a fix. The zooming was working fine this morning, I updated Photoshop then restarted it and immediately noticed the problem. No other variable on my system was changed in this timespan so it's 99% certain that the update procedure was the cause of the changed behaviour. I've toggled the checkbox a few times, even rebooted the system, to no avail. I'll wait and see if anyone comes up with any other suggestions but failing that I'll give the preferences reset a go.

    The Adobe CC app allows for multiple versions of Photoshop to be installed simultaneously. Do you still have a previous one installed? If not, can you install one? Does this behaviour happen on your system in a previous version? So many questions 🙂
