Precompose not working anymore.

This happened after 2020 update.

 

I can't even change the shortcut...

 

 

Is this a bug? 

 

Help.

    Same problem, July of 2021. Cleared all preferences and shortcuts, still not working. I can precompose by clicking Layer > Precompose, but can't use the keyboard shortcut.

    When you tried to reset the preferences: did you see this dialogue and hit OK?  - or did you not see the dialogue  at all?

    I'm having the same problem. I created a different post. And the guys at the Adobe Community keep telling us to delete prefs and is not the case. It's a bug, a very annoying one! This is one of the most commonly used shortcuts.

    I suggest you restart Ae clearing preferences and shortcuts:

    Press and hold Ctrl +Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) immediately on application launch.

    You'll get a 'do you want to reset prefs?' dialogue. Click OK.
    Keep the keys held down and you'll get a 'do you want to reset shortcuts dialogue?'. Click OK.
