PS 2024 Magnetic Lasso Tool - No Backspace

Hi,

The magnetic lasso tool does not respond to the backspace or ESC button - I have reset the preferences and that does not fix the problem.   

I have seen others with the same problem and even found this vidoe form 3 years ago that shows the exatc problem   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aF0qRvAyPk

Any ideas on how to fix this?  I really want to avoid having to compete reinstall the program for a single tool
