I never knew such a shortcut existed. I can't reproduce what you're talking about with either type layers or shape layers. I was able to do so on an AI layer.
OK - this one has me scratching my head and wondering what's going on...
All of a sudden I've realised that double clicking a mask tool for a type layer isn't giving me a type layer sized mask. I get a comp sized mask - albeit centred on my type.
'Mask at layer size' works as expected if I double click the mask tool with any other type of layer.
Investigating further I now get the same behaviour on 5.5, 6 and CC - all installed on this machine.
So I guess it's a system or font related issue - Win 7 64.
Anyone ever seen anything like this? Or have I missed something, or...
