It may be annoying but if it retained the current layer its not a step backward is it?

undo doesnt allow multiples steps like step backward does. undo is more useful for toggling a change back and forth. step backward allows for removing multiple steps. and this problem is an annoyance when using step backward.

Seems a lot of people have this problem, and someone wrote a script to fix it.

See here: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1251347#post1251347

Also, note you need to copy the script in the Photoshop/Presets/Scripts folder for it to show in the Scripts menu. Once it's there, you can assign any keyboard shortcut to it - CTRL+Z of course

Photoschop CS3 and up i think.

No, it's Javascript .JSX. Place it in your Photoshop>Presets>Scripts folder and it'll appear in File>Scripts>StepBackwardSmart
