Question

Ctrl + Alt + 0 (zoom 1:1 pixels) jumps back to "fit" upon releasing the Alt key!

There is a newly appeared bug (since several months ago): when pressing Ctrl + Alt + 0, the image is magnified to 1:1 (actual pixels), but letting go of the Alt key, the view jumps back to "zoom to fit", like I was pressing Ctrl + 0 only. Very annoying and makes me struggle with zooming in the images while retouching. None of the previous versions of Photoshop had this bug.

I already reported this bug, but no result... Please prioritize this issues since it is a very basic usability problem.

This Ctrl + Alt + 0 issue was fixed for a while, but the problem returned in version 26.11.2. Now, once again, releasing Alt first causes the view to jump back to “Fit”.

In addition, Ctrl + Num+ and Ctrl + Num- trigger twice: one zoom step on keydown and another on keyup.

Could you please fix these zoom-related bugs? They significantly hurt Photoshop’s usability, since these are among the most frequently used shortcuts when retouching files.

@NetPixel Studio what version of Photoshop are you using, just tested with version 27.0 on Windows 11, and it's working as expected

Photoshop 26.11.1 - on Windows 10 (no Windows 11 here yet, its start menu is unusable compared to Windows 10)

@NetPixel Studio 

Any particular reason you're not using ctrl+1, which is the official shortcut for 100%?

 

In any case, like Ged, I tested releasing the alt key from ctrl+alt+0, and it stays on 100%.
