Photoshop CC 2018: Shortcuts using Alt key aren't working correctly (e.g. Alt-Backspace)

There is not much to investigate. The Alt key when pressed automatically goes to the top menu ... But you should only do this if you press and not when "hold"! Understood? The Alt key does the same thing every time. It does not matter if you pressed or held go to the top menu.

I can't believe we're still waiting on a fix for this.  It's been over a week.  There should have been a fix within 24 hours.  For that matter, it should have never happened in the first place.   This is highlighting an abysmal level of internal quality control and testing.  It's an embarrassment and a massive stain upon Adobe's already dubious reputation. 

 Photoshop CC 2018 is an Edsel in my eyes, or an Assassin's Creed Unity, to use a more modern comparison.  Adobe has become as bad as the AAA game studios who prioritize microtransactions (Adobe Stock, CC subscription) over bugfixes and care more about keeping that user revenue stream flowing than providing an actual functional and performing product.

With all the competition bought out or eliminated, Adobe has become smug and arrogant and thinks it's too big to fail.  But conditions are ripe for someone to topple the pedestal, and I won't be sad when it finally happens.  As someone who's used Photoshop since version 5.0 in 1998, I used to sing Adobe's praises, but the direction it has gone since about 2013 has really soured me on the company.

One thing is for sure, I'm glad I bought a permanent license of CS5 when I did.  My employer is footing the bill for CC and I don't use it at home.  I would never pay a monthly fee for this kind of broken, untested, bug-filled, cash-grabbing rubbish.  About the only useful thing added since CS5 was perspective warp, and I can definitely get by without it.  It's all pointless, unnecessary bells and whistles: artboards, ridiculous embellishments to the interface, 20 instances of CEPHtmlEngine running in the background, Rich Tooltips, bloat upon bloat, and spam pop-ups for Adobe Stock - no, thank you! 

I certainly have some strong opinions about the direction Adobe has taken since going subscription-only, but for the sake of my job, and all the other users who have no choice but to use this broken debacle of a release, I sincerely hope you'll release a patch ASAP.

My Razor Nostromo has almost the same issue. I have to hit the bound key many times randomly to get it to work, but never works on the first press.

This partially works for me; the shortcut on the keyboard works perfectly now. However, it still doesn't work on the remote button I have set to the same shortcut. At least it doesn't make the error noise anymore, though.

Also works partially for me: alt+backspace works from the first hit but things like changing blending modes still don't :(. Thanks though

Also works partially for me. As Sergey  changing blending modes still don't . Anyway, thanks a lot !

Now, John, you and I know that it was much more important to get those Rich Tooltip popups working so that we can be told how to use tools we've used every single day for years.  What do we need hotkeys for, anyway?  We should just use the paint bucket like MS Paint users.  It's good enough for them, so why not us, too?  I think if we're just patient and wait for CC 2019, it might get fixed - but only after they finish adding the in-app pop-up spam for Adobe Stock like they did in Illustrator.
