P: Alt key shorcut, menu activating and beeping

The Alt key activates the menu. This new behaviour in CS5 is driving me nuts. When you try to zoom with the mouse wheel and Alt if you don't press ESC or Alt again you are confronted with annoying beeping. And let's say use a shortcut like Ctrl+Alt is fine but if you press it the other way Alt+Ctrl again activates the menu. This was not the case in previous version of PS, it woulb be nice if this is fixed.

      The problem still happens in 2021.

       

      The workaround is still to disable the Windows "Default Beep" notification.

       

      So I made this video as a celebration... Happy ten year anniversary!

      I'm getting the feeling that this proves that fixing one thing breaks another.<sigh>

      Btw:  Alt + Backspace doesn't works for me. In prev versions this changed colors for layers. It could have some realation with menu.

      Alt down > alt up > menu activated > mouse scroll > menu deactivated. Works as expected 🙂 Same for mouse click.

      Hey Jaroslav,

      Could you please clarify what you're seeing with mouse scrolling and clicking?  We're aware that something broke, but I'd like to make sure we're actually aware of the permutations.

      Thanks,
      David

      The problem is worse than before for me, installed 19.0 yesterday. Alt+delete shortcut activates the top menu and doesn't fill, and the brush blending mode shortcuts all "ding" and don't work. They work if I press the keys a second time without lifting Alt.
