Hello, i used the "polygon lasso tool" (very often) and want to undo the last point with the Backspace key but nothing happen. My Keyboard is ok, Keyboardlanguage is ok too. I have tested it. I try this very often and it won't work. I use the latest version of Photoshop via Creative Cloud. The problem appeared after the last update. Are there any tricks to get rid of the problem?

Same here: have to double-click ESC for it to release the Magnetic Lasso. Delete and Backspace have absolutely no effect. Should we get one point in the wrong place we have to start over. Not happy.

Lasso selection will not recurse the selection with the delete key nor the backspace key since the latest update. Version 4.12 x64.

In addition to the backspace (or delete) keys not working with the polygon lasso tool, you can no longer press to terminate the selection process. My productivity just went down about 300%. Hope these issues are fixed immediately (or sooner).

See the "FIX" noted below.

The polygonal lasso tool doesn't work as usual on photoshop CC since the last update. We can't make a backspace shortcut to redefine the last point of the selection.
