Preference Option for Polygonal Lasso that disables auto close/double click close

 I use a stylus, I know there are other options like pen tool and holding alt down while using the lasso tool. the poly tool is my mental default while i'm working. often, i'm clicking away in rapid succession with the polygonal lasso tool and suddenly it will auto close. this will ruin/set back many minutes of very tedious work, it's beyond frustrating. if there was a preference that would allow you to disable double click close, and allow you to close your selections with return/enter that would be a huge relief. it's such a constant pain point for me and many of my colleagues. Thank you!

Indeed, it might be tricky as Option+Delete invoques Fill with Foreground...

I have indeed, it has helped somewhat but it's not prefect. still get auto closes.  Also, in regards to the lasso tool, having some sort of backspace/delete ability would be great. i know it might be weird since you have to hold down alt/option.

Hi, I understand your struggles. In the mean time, have you looked at changing your operating system recognition speed of a double-click?
