Photoshop: Move Tool - Toggle auto select shortcut changed
Hello. The changed shortcuts to toggle the autoselection of layers with the move tool selected is highly frustrating to me. I used to have a great workflow with auto select turned on and used cmd to drag elements that were either off-canvas or too small / too transparent to grab them. Now it seems to be inverted: I need to turn auto select off to toggle with cmd. When it is turned on, cmd seems to toggle now between layer and group auto selection.
I can't understand why this was changed or is at least not something I can switch between in the preferences.
Thanks you very much for looking into this.

Thank you for the feedback.
This behavior is new to the 2014.2 release, as you have figured out.
We apologize for the frustration and inconvenience this change has caused.
We're looking into the issue now and will get back to you.
Thanks,
Meredith

CMD still toggles between auto-select and not. I know it's not ideal for most of you here... but you *can* work similarly to the way you did before in this fashion. Just inverse when you hold down command.

It has considerably slowed down my work today, and I don't expect to get it much better before a long time since it has always been such a basic and useful feature :S

Same thing here, totally disrupted my workflow. I've been using this feature for 7-8 years now, I don't see what's the use in changing it.

This really is highly frustrating as it's a core interaction, disrupting the workflow I had for years! With the current behavior it automatically changes the selection to the highest folder in the hierarchy, which makes me unintentionally moving a lot of layers (causing seconds of delay for an unintended action) and not just the layer/group I selected. I don't see how this can be useful to anyone.
