P: bracket keys not changing brush size

[andrewm35765582]

On the latest version of Photoshop beta, 25.11, my bracket keys are no longer chnaging my brush tip size. 

[jj82465384]

Shortcut for increasing/decreasing brush size doesn't seem to work in this version.

I have just been forced for the umpteenth time to update photoshop beta, and I am facing the same issue. If this issue hasn't been resolved why continue to push the update only to mess other people up, please make that make sense adobe 🙄

@Raine43 

a fix is posted here.

I did get it to work by deleting the shortcut keys for brush size and it worked. Or you can delete brackets for layer boundaries(which i never use) and put them back for brush size  and it seems to work now.

[Sef McCullough]

Confirmed - works again after deleting Layer Boundary shortcuts.

HI  - Yes I have the same problem with PS Beta 25.11 version.  I'm back in 29.9.1 and the tool resizing works again

So glad to finally hear I'm not the only one. I wish they'd fix this for
good. It is a colossal & jarring workflow interruption.

@AJL-aus have a look at the reply from Cory in this thread

Adobe is sleeping already, its been more than a week and almost all of us are suffering from that issue .. now you see its not a big deal to give just a simple update to resolve tha problem ... but heck yeah we just cant really complaint about it as it's just a BETA.. use the previous 25.10 version anyways

[Richard___G]

CoryShubert,

That's great news!  This bug has really been bothering me for a long time.

Best,

Richard

I did the same procedure and it worked. Thanks bro!

[CoryShubert]

Hi everyone, please update to the latest Ps beta: Adobe Photoshop Version: 25.11.0 20240706.m.2689 a56b6d6 arm64 which has the fix for this issue.

Thanks,

Cory - Photoshop Product Manager

[johnny2stix]

It sure does. Thanks!

[ram22184592i6zm]

It works perfectly - thanks

[Mskalny]

Thank you Cory! That worked.

[Gregory29252405asus]

Same here. I've just ditched the Beta and went back to the normal Photoshop

[Raine43]

Nice one, thank you! Will try this!

[ & ] brackets as hotkeys no longer seem to control brush sizes as they always have 

[Trevor.Dennis]

It's a known issue.  Open Edit >  keyboard shortcuts > Tools and scroll all the way to the bottom, and remove the [ and ] shortcuts from the Layer Boundary commands.

Out of interest, what version are you using?  I'm wondering if this was fixed with the 25.12, m.2694 update.

[shaunaparmesan]

I have a custom shortcut I've set for opening the foreground picker (N, which I reassign from a different shortcut) and it works fine in normal photoshop, but three updates ago in beta, it stopped working. It is still set up and shows that it's been assigned to the custom I set up, but no custom shortcuts are working at all in beta. 

Version 25.12

[shaunaparmesan]

This same issue now is happening in the live photoshop 25.11 and it's now messed up my workflow there, too. I cannot access my custom keyboard shortcut.
