Weird zoom behaviour using the keyboard

Explorer ,
Sep 20, 2025 Sep 20, 2025

Windows 11 and Photoshop 26.10.0

 

When I zoom in or out with CTRL + "numkeypad +" or CRTRL + "numkeypad -", the zoom instead if jumping one step, jumps two or more steps (as an example, instead of jumpig up from 100% to 200%, it jumps quickly to 300% or even 400%). Also, if I hold the CTRL key but release the numkeypad key, the zoom keeps changing like one time per second either in or out.

 

Also, when pressing CTRL+ALT+"numkeypad 0" to zoom to 100%, the zooming is done but as soon as I release the keys, the zoom changes to fit the window. I have noticed this only happens when the ALT key is released just an instant before the CTRL key. So the app is getting a ghost CTRL+"numkeypad 0" press. This error doesn't appear when I release CTRL before ALT but this is not my case most of the time so it is very annoying.

 

I have discovered that if I disable "enable modern user interface" in "Technology previsulizations" (sorry, translating from Spanish here since I also can't change the user interfece language to English), then zooming with keys works as usual and all the issues disappear.

 

The issues also disappear when I disable the new contextual bar.
