Adobe is working on a fix for the Lasso tool problem already. I contacted them and someone from Adobe replied and will provide the fix soon.

Is there any way to go back to a previous install with Creative Cloud? This is killing our productivity.

please fix this fault we are paying for software that cannot be used. the poly and lasso plus general selection delete do not work making the program useless

will adobe compensate for this fault that was caused by them not us.

[holthauseric]

any update on this??!! Not much of a production season if we cannot efficiently make selections.

For future Photoshop updates, I'll be first monitoring forums and blogs for at least a week before risking handicapping my workflow.

The same issue here as well, no backspace or esc or zoom when using lasso tool.
Nobody is willing to come with a solution from Adobe ?!

I also have this problem, backspace does not work on polygon tool! besides this it randomly closes the selection.

Adobe has been ignoring the randomly closing selection BUG for years.

This issue only started happening in Photoshop 14.2, released only 2 weeks ago.

I also am having this problem and i just downloaded the program this week.
No backspace, esc or zoom when using the lasso tool.

I use Photoshop CC and for a couple of days when I try to use my lasso tool the delete key won't work with that. Is any one else having this issue? Please help!!

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Come on adobe sort this problem out - coffee break over get back to work so we can.

[mattp57882341]

Hi, since the last update photoshop on CC will not allow the delete key to work

when you use the poly tool or lasso it will not let you delete points

can this be fixed please as it has made the program almost unusable

many thanks matt

As a Creative Cloud subscriber we are all eligible to download for FREE all of the Adobe CS6 applications. So what I have done is downloaded Photoshop CS6, and I will continue to use it, until Adobe gets their act together.

i am an idiot... BECAUSE I BOUGHT CC!

please help me fixing this problem thanks

[Myron Achtman]

Please see the fix above.

I have realized this. I work from lightroom, where CC is the default editor. I can edit with CS6 by choosing it as an alternate editor. A bit more involved, but doable. It seems to me, however, that the problem should be easy enough for Adobe to fix, except they are probably boxing it with other bug fixes, and sticking to a release schedule users are not privy to, nor will they be. This seems to be Adobe's corporate mentality.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Actually i don't see a fix, by installing CS6. I think it's an elemantary tool in Photoshop and actually i would prefer a fix for it, since the problem exists now for some time.

I am having this issue as well on my Win7 machine with Photoshop 14.2. I tend to use the poly lasso tool constantly and the ESC key when I want to change or back out of an incomplete poly. The ESC key is definitely not working unless I hit it repeatedly. My work-around is hitting ENTER, getting the NO PIXELS SELECTED message, then clearing that out, and then going on with my task.

Additionally, when working with very involved images, I frequently need to zoom in when using the poly lasso, but now I find that I cannot CTRL+ to zoom in while the poly lasso is active.

Fixing this for those of us that rely on Photoshop for daily work would be fantastic.

Thank you!!

still waiting...........PLEASE FIX!!!

how's the investigation coming?

After I installed the latest update on January 16, 2014, I can no longer delete points when using the Magnetic Lasso tool. Is this a bug in my copy of Photoshop, or has this ability been removed?
