Can't use Paint Bucket tool after exiting 3D workspace mode
I've tried narrowing down the cause and even a temp work around for this error, and have the below boiled down to the simplest way to recreate the problem.
Problem: Anytime I do the below, I later can't use the Paint Bucket tool.
1) Open a new default Photoshop document.
2) Draw a rectangle using the rectangle tool (filled with black).
3) Change to a 3D Workspace using the upper right drop down option.
4) Click on '3D' from the drop-down menu and select 'New Mesh from Layer' then click 'Postcard'.
5) Close Photoshop without saving.
6) Open Photoshop again and open a new default Photoshop document.
7) Click on the Paint Bucket tool.
😎 When I move the cursor over the new Photoshop document it shows a circle with a line through it, and if the document is click to try and apply the fill tool to it, it doesn't do anything and does not display any error or messages.
Temp Workaround I use:
1) I press and hold Alt+Control+Shift when starting Photoshop.
2) When prompted to delete the current settings, I click 'Yes'. The new preferences files are recreated as Photoshop starts.
3) The Paint Bucket tool now works again.
This is obviously a huge pain.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Peter
