P: Add option to disable ALT/OPT + Click 'Zoom to layer' behavior

Going to go back to the previous version of PS until there is a way to turn this off or it's changed or eliminated. Seems someone at Adobe forgot that holding "Alt" while clicking a layer group is how we collapse/expand layers! Now when I try to collapse a layer group the whole thing zooms???? No bueno, Adobe.

As far as i know, there is not a way at this time to turn off the Zoom to Layer Content’ feature

in photoshop cc 2020.

How do you turn off “Zoom to Layer Content” in PS 2020?! The action is trigged when option/alt clicking a layer or group which in turn zooms to the contents of the layer to the screen. The action is the same key combination used to collapse nested groups. The new feature is not desirable and I'm looking for a way to turn it off. Please help!

 

Full description of the aciton can be found here, topic #9.
