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.

the exact same things happen to me and also when i export as a file, it saves the same photo three times instead of one. This is the most annoying update ever

Bug in Beta, using the keyboard shortcuts on the mac results in not one but 2 actions. For example using the pen tool, clicking command z to undo removes 2 points not one. If editing a smart object, command w to close window photoshop then asks do i want to save to document as if i have pressed command again. I thought it may have been fixed in this new version 26.9.0 but issue is still there

SINCE update to 26.9.0:

keyboard shortcut commands such as cmd-z , shift+ and shift- and cmd-w are carried out twice by photoshop. so instead of closing the current document when i press cmd-w it close the current AND the next document. same for the other shortcuts. (needles to say: very frustrating)

Hi!

I use Wacom Cintiq 22HD. I use Photoshop so much. I have an issue regarding duplicating layers and a general lagging. 

When I try to duplicate a layer with my tablet pen, it is working very slow (delaying) and freezes for a few second. Also, selecting some tools, etc. is having lagging issue. This problem doesn't happen if I use mouse in PS. 

Can you help me? 

Thank you in advance!

Try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps described here:

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#reset-preferences

It's recommended to backup your settings before resetting the preferences.

See here:  https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#backup-photoshop-preferences

Do you use the latest tabelt driver?

Which version of Photoshop do you use?

Please provide a copy of your 'System Info'. This can be get from the Photoshop menu item Help > System Info. There's a copy button in the System Info dialog. Press this button and paste the info into your next forum post.

Gonna chime in with everyone else:
CMD+Z goes back two steps
CMD+J produces two extra copies
CMD+ "+" zooms in twice.

Really clogging up my process and adding a lot of unnecessary time to my workflow to correct. Definitely interested in a fix for this!

Thanks!

When I paste an image into a PS document, it pastes two copies. If I use the CMD-J function to duplicate a layer, it makes two duplicates.

[Henry225724522ggn]

keep double paste every first time of new file created.

[Henry225724522ggn]

and keep happen very often since latest update (version 26.9.0)

Same thing in mine, here... PS Beta 26.9.0 in MacOS 15.5.   Duplicated commands as Commans+V, Command+E and many shortcuts not working like Command+R (show / hide rulers) Command+H (show / hide extras)  Command+I...

Hello,

I've installed the latest Photoshop Beta, but unfortunately the issue still persists. This bug is making my work nearly impossible, as my entire workflow relies heavily on keyboard shortcuts.

I'm using a Magic Keyboard on a Mac with the latest macOS. I even purchased a brand-new Magic Keyboard thinking it might be a hardware issue, but the problem continues. Interestingly, when I tested a Logitech keyboard, the issue did not occur – so it seems isolated to the Magic Keyboard.

Switching to another keyboard is not a viable solution for me, as I’ve been using the same layout for over 15 years and have built deep muscle memory around it.

I sincerely hope this bug gets addressed soon – it's a serious blocker for professional users.

Thank you!

Hi @kristinakeke, can you please share your build details? You can find them in Help menu > System Info.
Thanks.

I have had the same issue with zoom for many months in PS Beta. It is quite bothersome and slows down the workflow. I update as soon as updates are available, currently Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.9.0 20250713.m.3147 5b6ea2d x64 (dev: PublicBeta), updated a moment ago, and the issue persists.

When I press Ctrl+ or Ctrl-, many steps are performed, and the image zooms in or out significantly. With Ctrl-, the image stops at 0.4% or less, so it basically disappears.

This does not happen in stable PS.

Hi!

The latest version "26.9.0 20250714.m.3148" has been released. Please update and check it out.

[michalp35529385]

Today's version 26.9.0 20250716.m.3150, still the same problem. I don't understand why such a basic feature as zoom can't be fixed quickly and efficiently. It's been going back many versions, I'd guess a few months.

[Neha Sharan]

Hi @michalp35529385, can you please let us know which version of Photoshop is working fine for you? We have fixed the duplicate command issues, and this bug seems different, so we need more information to fix that

[kristinakeke]

The issue is gone in the latest PS. Thank You!

[michalp35529385]

Everything is fine in the stable version 26.8.1 20250624.r.8 5e0d05d x64

Zoom problem is the same on two different computers with different processors and graphics cards (nvidia and amd).

[Neha Sharan]

Thanks @michalp35529385, we will investigate. 

[Neha Sharan]

HI @michalp35529385, we are not able to reproduce this issue at our end. Is this issue always happening in the build or triggered during some workflow? Also, can you try unchecking "Enable Modern User Interface" in the "Preferences dialog" > "Technology previews" and see if that fixes your issues? You will have to relaunch Photoshop after making this setting in the preferences dialog. If it still does not fix your issue, could you please share a recording? Thanks.
