Last week my zoom tool acts like this.

press zoom hotkey> pressing pen on screen> drag (pen is still  pressing on screen) > lifts up pen = zoom function is over

but now:

press zoom hotkey> pressing pen on screen > drag > lifts up pen > hovering pen on screen> zoom function zooming in and out unless I right click. the zoom function seemed to change.

did photoshop change the zoom function entirely this recent update?
how do I return the  zoom function back.

Hey, @melford_7858. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll need more information to help you figure this out. Please share a video of the issue and the system info from Photoshop Help > System info > Copy and paste into a text document > Upload and attach here.

 

You can disable the Photoshop > Edit > Preferences > Tools > Spring-loaded Tool shortcuts. 

 

Also, please test and confirm if the issue exists with Photoshop (Beta). You can get Photoshop (beta) from the Creative Cloud > Apps tab > Beta Apps section. 

 

Thanks!
