The new smooth animations when expanding hierarchies are interfering with recursive hiding (Alt+Click). Now when you try to recursively hide e.g. all gameobjects in the scene hierarchy, you have to wait around 1-2 seconds for the animation to finish until they actually close recursively. Also feels like the recursive close doesn’t work sometimes and it has to be done twice.
Pre 5.6 you can just alt+click, release alt, click again to expand immediately and they would be hidden. Please fix.

Pro apps need to be responsive which is why in Maya all UI animation are optional.
More animation related woes:
Oh and I figured out the reason the recursive close didn’t work every time. You’re required to hold alt until the animation finishes. (guys…?)
Hi Kuura, can I get you to file bug reports for these issues? It would be really helpful to have a minimal project where you can reproduce the issue.
All you need to do is parent any 3 objects to see the issue so I don’t know what good a repro case would do.
If the issue is unclear here are 2 animations that illustrate it.
Holding alt doesn’t close recursively unless hold for a long time after click: 5.6 animations bugging - Album on Imgur
Pressing left and then down resets highlighted position to top: 5.6 bugging more - Album on Imgur
The issue is that modifier keys or any keys after hiding are evaluated only after the animation has finished, which is a very weird (read: wrong) way to do UI animations.
A bug report would still be of great value for us, because of the way we handle issues like these internally. Additionally, reproduction cases, even seemingly trivial ones, safe us a lot of time during the recreation and confirmation process, so that we can start fixing the underlying problems sooner.
No worries. Created case 861858 and linked this thread along with info.
Thanks very much!
Thanks again for your report. The GIFs were very helpful.
I’ve addressed both issues and the fixes will be in an upcoming beta.
