Hi! I have a selection in my image, and when I try to subtract pixels via option + command + clicking the thumbnail in the layers, it zooms out so the file fits to screen. It successfully subtracts that layer/pixels from my selection like I want, but not without zooming out so it fits the screen. This hasnt been a problem for me before - just updated CC last week. I looked through the keyboard shortcuts and didnt find anything amiss. It's kind of driving me crazy, any help or guidance is appreciated!

Hi

Photoshop added the shortcut of Option+Click the Layer to zoom to the layer, overriding older shortcuts and forgetting to update this help file:

As you say, it does subtract, but the zooming is annoying.

This also seems to occur with photoshop 2020 21.0.1 on windows 10 x64 1909.
