P: Add option to disable ALT/OPT + Click 'Zoom to layer' behavior

Going to go back to the previous version of PS until there is a way to turn this off or it's changed or eliminated. Seems someone at Adobe forgot that holding "Alt" while clicking a layer group is how we collapse/expand layers! Now when I try to collapse a layer group the whole thing zooms???? No bueno, Adobe.

      As far as i know, there is not a way at this time to turn off the Zoom to Layer Content’ feature

      in photoshop cc 2020.

       

      You could make a feature request/bug report over here:

      How do you turn off “Zoom to Layer Content” in PS 2020?! The action is trigged when option/alt clicking a layer or group which in turn zooms to the contents of the layer to the screen. The action is the same key combination used to collapse nested groups. The new feature is not desirable and I'm looking for a way to turn it off. Please help!

       

      Full description of the aciton can be found here, topic #9.

        Where did you see Alt-Click Layer Pallets (Layer Content Thumbnail, or mask thumbnail, of outside the layer thumbnails) documented as a shortcut for collapse nested groups? I can not find that Alt-Click Layers  is a Photoshop shortcut for collapse nested groups. I can find fit layers to screen

          That document Alt-Click on the Expand|Contract icons  like in the Action Palette but in the layers palette.  Not the Layer Group thumbnail. The seems to work, However clicking on the Group Folder Thumbnail Icon Zoom in one the group.  


          Yes you can also do this function in the Action Pannel.

           

          Thank you for your help but maybe I'm not being clear. New PS 2020 - opt+click the group arrow in the layer pannel will close the group AND zoom your document. I want to disable the zooming of the document as it is not a desirable feature. If I opt+click the layer outside of the arrow and the doc zooms ok fine but if I opt+click the arrow I only want the groups to collapse just like the PS versions that came before it.

           

          This is a key combination I use countless times a day and have reverted back to PS 2019 until there is a solve. The zooming of the document creates additional steps in my work flow as I now how to reposition the doc to where it was before collapsing all groups.

           

          Note: Maybe this is a Mac only bug.
