Cmd+alt+up/down recently started to rotate object instead of moving the layer up down.

How to fix/disable it?

Im tearing my hair out at the moment because of this! someone, please fix!

Just tested on a coworkers machine, and there it works fine as intended.
Im on version 125.8.9 of the desktop app.

Why would anyone ever need a shortcut to rotate?

It just happened for me too. Glad to see it’s not just me at least.

Still not working. What’s strange is that it just started out of nowhere, not after any update or file reload, but mid work.

 

Similar things seem to have happened 3 years ago as well, but then it resized the node instead of rotating it. None if the topics were resolved unfortunately.

Have you guys tried making a Support request? If we make a number of requests, maybe they'll fix it.
The shortcut works as it was for all my team, I'm the only poor person.

I hope I’ve got into some weird AB test, and I want back to the cohort A asap.

Updated to version 125.9.10, problem still persists! Rotating instead of moving back and forth!

I just wrote to them via their support channel. hope to see a fix soon! this is drivning me crazy!

I would encourage others who experience this to write them, so we can get some attention on this new “feature”
