P: Backspace Key Deletes Layers - Photoshop 22.5 - Windows

Just wanted this noted at Adobe...

Downloaded 22.5 this morning, and now when I go to manually enter values into a layer (ie Hue/Saturation) I cannot use the backspace key to delete the numerical value. It will first delete the layer mask, then delete the layer entirely.

This is a pain if you're doing lots of product photography, where you're replicating the same values over a large number of photos. I need to carefully highlight the number I want to change, then type in the value, without accidentally hitting the backspace key.

This may be a planned change, a quick way to delete a layer mask or layer, but it is not helpful for all users.

I will do my workaround, but it's slowing down my output.

Allowed Photoshop to update to 22.5.0 this morning and now whenever I change my brush opacity all layers are automatically flattened. I'm using a Microsoft Surface Pro 6 and the on-screen keyboard opens when adjusting oppacity, I don't know if that's what's triggering the issue, but it wasn't happening while using the previous version yesterday. The issue also persists after a full restart of the PC.

Hi all

If i try to change the pen tool line size, my layer gets deleted.

Anyone know why this is and how to stop it?

The pen tool in Path or Shape mode or either mode. I do not seem to haves a problem on Windows 10 in Photoshop 22.5. With the Ctrl key press I can move a control point without a problem.
