Layer visibility appears on History panel

Is there a way to stop Photoshop from showing "Layer Visibility" in the history log?

When I do final checks on an image, I tend to spam 'CMD + ,' to check for issues. It then fills up the history log and I don't recall previous versions acting this way. However, I could have changed a setting, so if anyone is aware of a solution it would be greatly appreciated.

Correct answer davescm

Click on the square at the top right of the history panel to get the drop down menu and choose "History Options".

Then uncheck "Make Layer Visibility Changes Undoable"

It takes up history in a way that doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Nice one Dave, knew it would be a simple fix. I don't recall ever changing those settings.

Many Thanks to you!
