Brush opacity changes when changing brush size

When I use alt + right click to change brush size, the opacity of my brush also changes. This happens with multiple tools and multiple brush presets. This is extremely problematic for me because it is absolutely essential that my brush opacity remains at 100% at all times. How can I fix this?

Just like in Substance Painter Alt+RMB drag to side changes side an UP/DOWN changes Opacity/Hardness.
It is ridicoulous to see no answer to this, but so many people complain about it. I struggled with it for a long timw, till I just looked here and saw people say "professionals" stuggle with it.
Srsly Skill Issue. I hate it, but know I know how it works and what to look out for.

Adobe, pay attention to this, and please provide a fix. Casual users on the program won't discover this issue, but people who use Photoshop professionally (aka your most dedicated consumers) in the digital painting world have to constantly correct their opacity because of this useless feature.

I don't speak as a representative of any organization professionally. Please just get this together and provide a fix.

I totally agree, it's a consant probleme when you need to make assets with strict guidelines requiering 100% oppacity and 100% sharpeness. It's such an easy fix too, take one employee off the AI department and make him fix this stupid feature.

I'm having the same problem. I've talked more than an hour with customer service, they erased my preferences, tried some things, but nothing changed.

Absolutely frustrating and a real problem when working.

I've just found out the problem. When moving the cursor left to right, it changes brush size. But when moving the cursor up and down, it changes opacity.

Still frustrating.

It's in preferences, "change hardness when moving mouse" or something. But it always will change opacity when you move verticaly. It's not a bug, it's a feature they have introduced couple years ago unfortunatelly. Resetting preferences won't do anything.

There is no fix for that, actually this is the most frustrating thing about Photoshop these days, because they made it as a feature couple years ago and I see they didn't changed it back to this day. I mean, how they even came to such an idea is hillarious.
