We've made it so using the magnetic lasso tool can now be used on Layer Masks in Photoshop CS6. #2904586

It was disabled because normally the layer mask hides composite color data, and the edges should be calculated for the visible color data. So the layer mask is excluded from the calculations. But someone failed to make a special case for when *just* the layer mask was visible.

Geoff, Chris's comments were directed at me. One of our QE (Jeanne) has this on her plate to log in the internal system on the AM.

We have an internal bug tracking system. It's important to get the bug in there so we can make sure to do regression testing. (that, and so my manager doesn't think I'm just goofing off and fixing random bugs)
