Canvas Size and Image Size tools now tied to global settings

In Photoshop 25.9.0 on a MacBook Pro M2 Max 2023 (OS 14.6.1), though my Units & Rulers are set to Pixels, when I open an image and go to either Image Size or Canvas Size, the units are set to Inches. How do I set my Settings so that Image Size ande Canvas Size units are set to the one I want (in my case, Pixels)?

I can only ever remember Canvas size being set to pixels, but a quick check showed that in my 25.2 Canvas size units immediately reflected whatever units are set to.  The strange thing in my case, and probably why I responded to this thread, is the Ctrl Alt C shortcut has stopped working for me.  Plus the Photoshop windows appears to be losing focus.  That is to say that when first opening Photoshop, and then an image, Ctrl Alt I does not work initially.  I have to click inside the main window, which causes the CTB and LNP toolbar to appear, and then the Image Size shortcut works again.

I have checked extensively, so I am going to restart the computer, test again, and reset Preferences.   

In Ps2021 on the Mac, the Image Size is sticky to the last used setting, but Canvas Size is tied to the unit preferences.

Following recommendations from a user on Reddit, also attempted the following:

Preferences > Performance, and untick Use Graphics Processor, and restart Ps

- No change to Canvas Size settings (still defaults to what the global Units & Rulers setting is)

- Restored the expected/preferred functionality to Image Size (it sticks with whatever I last set it to, regardless of global Units & Rulers settings)

(this state is preserved after the following steps, which means still halfway there, but no reversion to 100% default to global Units & Rulers settings)

Preferences > Technology Previews and tick Older GPU Mode (Pre 2016) and restart Ps

- As you noted, this option is no longer available to me on he MacOS version of Ps

Deactivate Native Canvas, restart Ps

- No change from previous
