ESC, Delete/ Backspace no longer working with the Polygonal Lasso

Hi, My experience is that delete sometimes does not work, in your care, is it 100% of the cases? 

Thank you for testing that issue. And I hate to see that this bug is still present in the newest version.

I made a short video as you wished: https://youtu.be/M0ju7AdC3GE

I made a few comments what I try to do.

- Space bar to move the image a bit. It grips only after some mouse movement. In the meantime the magnetic lasso selects a bit across the image. Besides from that, I have many situations where Space bar does not work at all.

- Delete never works

- Enter or Esc to end the selection never work

- Alt always works (to switch to the polygonal lasso)

And by the way:

Adobe Premiere Pro became another piece of s..oftware, just like Photoshop.

"Alt Gr" characters do not work - a bug from 2020 

Hi, I finally had access to a Windows machine running the latest 24.1.1 version. Indeed, Delete does not work as expected 100% of the time with the magnetic lasso tool. Sometimes, I need to add a point, in order to remove the previous one. Sometimes, it seems that hovering the last point seems to allow Delete to work.

Things I'm going to test: only having Ps running. Currently, I have Office teams, chrome, and some explorer Windows.

Another thing to try: trying to disable the spring loaded shortcuts.

Photoshop CC 24.1.1

OS : Windows 10 

This doesn't happen every time, but sometimes when I'm zoomed in on an image and I'm using the Lasso tool to select an area, and I try to backspace to go back to the previous state, the backspace key doesn't work and I can't move the screen by pressing the spacebar. So sometimes I have to cancel all my selections, zoom out, zoom back in, and select again. Is there any way to improve this?

Could someone please tell me if this problem is fixed in the newer Photoshop versions (2023)?

I hate to update the [removed by moderator] Adobe Bridge. But this lasso-bug  [removed by moderator] that much.

Especially when using the magnetic lasso: Hitting Space for moving the image on the screen - and then the lasso selects crazy  [removed by moderator] diagonally across the image when moving the mouse :-X. And the Delete key cannot undo this.  [removed by moderator].

This is not acceptable. You've been aware of this for long enough to fix it.  [removed by moderator] Make it work!

2014 Adobe Employees confronted with the same problem: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/p-backspace-key-not-working-with-polygonal-and-magnetic-lasso-windows-14-2/idi-p/12251414 "Thanks for the report. I've logged it in the bug database and we are currently investigating."

Now when they see everyone is having the same problem they just say, "[removed] your settings must be wack stay safe tho"

Like cmon bruh

Here the problem is still present, too. But this is no surprise:

As long as the new Photoshop version only works together with the new Bridge version, I will not update Photoshop. The new Bridge version is the weirdest software revision I have ever seen by Adobe.

I hate the Cloud concept of Adobe. Until CS6 the programs were released every 1 or 2 years. Until the next Creative Suite came out there were only updates with bugfixes. When the next Creative Suite came out, the previous CS-version was well-engineered to the end.

Now with Creative Cloud, every now and then comes a new version with new features, annoying features, with new bugs. The old version is not engineered anymore or maximum until the end of the year.

As a result we see these bugs which break the every day workflow of users who have to earn money with this software.

And as a bonus: Yes, Photoshop, Illustrator and Premiere do have some now features since CS6. But the only feature which I really accept as an improvement is the better hardware support of Premiere Pro. All the other programs and their features are nearly the same or not much better than in CS6. On contrary: The User Interface of your programs became weird crap (e.g. auto-hide of scrollbars in inactive windows, buttons that don't appear like buttons, lesser contrasts, more and more pressure to save the documents in the cloud, ...) - just like Windows 10 and 11.

Maybe your software is now good for the ones who work fast and upload their photo to Instagram 3 seconds after they shot it with their Smartphone. Those who [removed by moderator] about unclean edges with your fancy quick selection tools.

But for exact and professional work your new features  [removed by moderator] - especially when you break basic features that worked perfectly over 20 years.

If my CS6 (at home, not at work) does not work anymore some time in the future, then I will leave Adobe forever. And if you think I would not have paid for Adobe in the last 10 years: If you had continued the release standalone Creative Suites then I really would have bought newer versions.

At work I will recommend to get away from Adobe CC. Your CC software is  [removed by moderator]. Sorry.

Hi all, having the same problem! 3 out of 4 times shortcuts don't work on poly lasso. Just commenting to add my voice.

Cheers
