At school they have CS2, and I'm getting very frustrated with an annoying problem: When I work with an image that has layers, switch to some layer and paint a single stroke, then press undo, it undoes the stroke but also switches to the layer I was previously on. Does anyone have a fix for this? I don't see why they changed this from photoshop CS.

i can't generate your problem with using undo (ctrl/cmd+z)

i can however if i use the history undo (ctrl+option / cmd+alt + z)

I've noticed this for some time. It basically will happen if you history-undo all the way back to a state just after (or is it before?) you switched layers. So switch layers, dump about 30 brushstrokes on, and history-undo all the strokes. Once the last stroke is cleared, you'll end up on the previous layer you switched from.

Can be quite annoying, especially when you're not paying attention. It's been the cause of confusion on a lot of occasions, especially when I'm working with layers of different blending modes.

On the History palette click the little arrow right under the X in the upper right hand corner. On that menu pick History Options. Uncheck the last one that says "Make Layer Visibility Changes Undoable."

Hope that helps.

Kwiix:

Layer visibility is unfortunately not the issue here... That doesn't work.
I guess I'll have to remap ctrl-z back to the regular undo instead of history step backward. Too bad. ( should have remembered to say history step back instead of undo in the original post)
