Marquee tool fixed vs free dropdown missing

Question

I have not updated my photoshop in a while so I'm not sure if I somehow didn't noticed this until now or it changed without my updating (seems unlikely, but that's what it feels like). I'm on 26.2. The dropdown that used to say "free, fixed ratio, fixed size" is gone and in its place is "generate image, import image" which seems to sort of do the same thing as the first two options with just less clear verbiage, but fixed size isn't possible.

Hi Sameer, Thanks for your reply. I updated to the latest version of Photoshop and the bug thankfully seems to have been fixed without needing to delete my presets. Phew!TY!

Hey, @alexanderl16240166. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll move this post to discussions. I'll need more info to help you figure this out. Please share the system info from Photoshop Help > System info > Copy and paste into a text document > upload and attach here.

I am on Photoshop v26.3 & it appears as shown here:

In this case, you can begin by resetting the Marquee tool itself. Right-click on the Marquee icon in the Toolbar menu and select Reset Tool.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks!
