P: Layer selection not working with Gradient Tool

[Andreas Resch]

With the Gradient Tool selected, the layer selection popup doesn't show when I hit CTRL-Right Mouse. It works with other tools like Brush, Eraser etc.

Hi @Andreas Resch testing here on Mac and Win, right-click brings up the popup with out CTRL + right click.  Have you always used CTRL+ right click to access this function?

Sorry if we are not understanding the issue fully.  If you would share a screenshot or video of what you are seeing maybe we can figure this out.

Thank you,

Well. I have to use CTRL to access the Move tool from within other tools. I always use it while using the brush tool. And adding the right mouse click shows the layer selection pop-up, like it would appear when using the Move tool as well. So CTRL-Right Click shows the layer selection pop-up from other tools. However with the Gradient tool that combination doesn't work. Pressing the CTRL key switches to the Move tool - that works. But additionally clicking the right mouse button, doesn't show the layer selection pop-up. 

I tried it in PS2022 and PS2021 and there it works fine. So it must be PS 2023 bug.

The team has been able to reproduce the issue and will begin to look into it.
