Select and mask tool always makes me LOSE ALL MASK i am doing!

Question

Hi,

I am posting as a BUG, cause is not possible that a SYSTEM allow clicking a simple ESC and closing a mask tool, makes me losing ALL work many times a day.

The WORST, is that the OPACITY slider is putting FOCUS on the percentage number.... so i press ESC to GET OUT cursor focus of that field ... and sometimes, i press ESC wrong and LOSE all my work!

THIS IS A BUG, a system don't ASK THIS: "Are you sure you want to close mask tool?"

Cannot believe that there is no opttion to allow me to put a confirmation checkbox on mask tool exit.

Please, solve this URGENTLY!

thank you,

Sergio

Hello

I would like to report a very annoying behavior that caused me, and other users as I've seen, al lot of loss of time. It applies to any version of photoshop in the "select and mask mode".

Using this mode, one can spend a LOT of time perfecting a mask for controuring objects, and if by mistake the ESC key is pressed for any reason, then ALL this time is loss as the selction reverts to its initial state.

While the ESC key is supposed to act as a cancel button, it SHOULD NOT under any circomstance, cancel hors of work without any warning, not even a "Are you sure to cancel this selection ?".

Would be easy to fix.
