P: PS 26.9 CMD shortcuts give duplicate results

[brendan_3701]

Photoshop Beta version 26.9 on MacOS 15.5

- Pressing Cmd + [ or Cmd + ] moves layers **two steps** instead of one.
- Cmd + J creates **two new layers**, not one.
- Issue persists after reinstalling and resetting preferences.
- Not caused by actions/scripts/custom shortcuts.

- Issue is only on Beta Version, not in normal version.

I as well. Not critical but very annoying.

Adding to this. CMD+J makes two copies for me as well.

I'm getting the same thing on pasting and zooming with + and - 

[Matt24386790zhgl]

Very annoying and causing some problems when closing layers/docs especially. Having the same issue on copy/paste and zooming with cmd + -

Guys this is a known issue with Mac OS and is no doubt being worked on.

[Jay Levine Media]

This just started. If I paste something that creates a layer, it creates 2 layers. If I do Cmd J, it creates 2.

Double action by pressing command+ other key

when we push Command Button + any other Button like cmd + J for duplicating a layer it make 2 copies.

I'm getting the same problem.

I updated to "26.9.0 20250706.m.3140" but the problem was not fixed.

[Fors254947183urp]

Please fix this sooner than later! Should be top of the list. It really puts a damper on processing flow, have to use alternate method or delete duplicate - for seasoned users SUPER annoying

[Venusian creatives]

PS Beta 26.9.0 = Command + Z OR Shift + Command + Z = completes 2x steps instead of 1, I'm using macOS Sequoia 15.5

[creative explorer]

@Venusian creatives why are you using Photoshop Beta for your everyday work? Photoshop Beta is for testing and trying out new features before they are officially released to the general public development work. Switch to the regular Photoshop, and the Undo's shouldn't be a problem

[Ged_Traynor]

@Venusian creatives you'd be better off reporting the issue on the Photoshop Beta forum

[john_3571]

Same here. Irritating, but it does not occur in PS 2025 so I 'm using that now.

Hi there, problem solved with version "26.9.0 20250706.m.3140" installed !

thanks

[cliff colgate]

Really? Latest update is still not working for me. Double copy of layers, undo etc...

[zoomdogmedia]

For me the issue is aslo not resolved in 26.9.0...

[Jay Levine Media]

I still have the problem

[CShubert]

Hi all, please check and see if this setting is set to OFF. This should be a workaround.

Preferences > Technology Previews > Enable Modern User Interface is OFF

Again, this is a workaround and not a solution. The team will fix this issue as we would like everyone to have Enable Modern User Interace set to ON.

Thanks,

Cory - Photoshop Product Manager

[J.S.2853842159jq]

Thank you. After restarting my Photoshop Beta, this seemed to work. Can you pin this comment as the solution, so that everyone can see it?

[cliff colgate]

Thanks, 'Enable Modern User Interface is OFF' working for me now.

[stevie875]

This may have actually fixed it for me, as well! Thank you so much 🙂 

[George21844538d5no]

I was ready to tear my keyboard apart! Setting Enable Modern User Interface to OFF worked.
