Holding Alt Changes Canvas

Hi,

I used to copy layer styles and masks between layers by Alt dragging in the layers panel.

now when I hold down alt I am toggled onto another open canvas and cannot access the layers of my current canvas.

I was hoping an update might fix this bug but no luck yet.

Is anyone else having such a problem or know a way around it.

Thanks,

Brian

Thanks JJMack, It has been so long since I have had to do that it never even occurred to me, I reset all tools and now it is working perfectly again!

I wish all fixes were that easy
