Photoshop 21.1: Zoom keyboard shortcut no longer resizes window

I've encountered the same problem in the latest update and I'm eagerly awaiting a fix.

Yes, i concur

Thanks all. I've filed an official bug report elsewhere which the devs will track. 

Thank you PECourtejoie, they deleted my reply here, which contained the same rant I posted in that  Adobe Community link.

Thanks eartho. Engineering is investigating.

This is extremely frustrating and has now cost me about 45 min of my work day trying to fix it! Not sure why this would change with the update, but it's massively annoying. I now have my zoom settings backwards. Command + Alt- doesn't resize window anymore, it zooms inside the window. I had to check the "Zoom Resizes Window" box ON with this update in order for it to work at all. So now the keyboard shortcut Command- resizes the entire window instead of just zooming in! This has ruined my ability to quickly zoom in and out while I'm working. My usual two-key short cut and turned it into a three-key shortcut. Not cool and not something I want to get used to! Please fix this bug!!!

Same problem here on the Mac version. Can't stand to work like this. Going back to 2019 until this is fixed.

I share this problem (and frustration) - but for those who want a temporary work-around, checking the box "Zoom Resizes Windows" in Preferences > Tools will flip the functions, making Ctrl +/- zoom and resize the window and Ctrl+Alt +/- zoom without resizing.

That's a headache, I agree, but for those like me that normally navigate using Space+LeftClick to pan and Ctrl+Space+LeftClick to zoom it's less intrusive - then it's just a matter of releasing Alt when wanting to resize a window using Zoom.

(Edit: Noticed people had already noted the function flip above but I'll leave it in case it helps anyone)

This issue should be addressed by the 21.1.1 update. Let us know if you're still having trouble.
