P: Crashes when using Magnetic Lasso Tool

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

After updating Photoshop CC 2018 this morning I began experiencing crashes when attempting to use the Magnetic Lasso Tool. The crash only occurs with that tool. It does not crash when I use the Lasso Tool or the Polygonal Lasso Tool. Changing the cursor to "precise" had no affect. Updating my graphics card had no affect. Bypassing my Wacom tablet had no affect. Not loading third party plugins had no affect. And finally, restoring Photoshop preferences to default had no affect. Any ideas?

Same here... I lost the ability to use the magnetic lasso after the latest update. Mac OS (High Sierra)

Are you guys seeing a crash log? What does it say in the crash log?

[J453]

OK. We can reproduce. The problem occurs when the preference for cursor is set to precise. Changing to standard will prevent the crash.

[Sylvain_M]

Well, first, I don't see the Adobe crash report window (only the Apple one). I can't find anywhere to activate it in prefs and if I click "Changing Settings for Adobe Crash Reporter" here : https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/submit-crash-reports.html I just go back to the top of the same page. If I navigate in my Library to :   Users/My user name/Library/Logs/CrashReporter... I just don't have this folder. 
So the short answer is no, I don't see a crash log.

[J453]

OK. Thanks for looking. 

[Sylvain_M]

I confirm the crash does not occur with the cursor set to standard. Will wait for updates to set it back to precise. Thank you.

I am not getting a crash log, just the Windows error window. I have changed the cursor back to standard and PS no longer crashes.

Same here on Windows 64.

I changed to standard and it works.

It feels as if we are beta testers al the time. Quite annoying TBH

Hi everyone.  Thanks for all the details.  I've checked in a fix for this problem and precise cursor now works with magnetic lasso.  Sorry for the inconvenience.  I don't know when the next Photoshop release with this fix will be available, but because it is a crash it should have high priority.  Thanks again.

I was having the problem on both home & work machines, too. Thanks so much for your prompt response in fixing it!  Looking forward to the update.

i'm having the same issue today! photoshop quits only when i select the magnetic lasso tool.

When you select the magnetic lasso while in the mask of a layer the program immediately crashes. Version 19.1.0, Win 10 Build 16299, using Wacom Tablet
Another post came up after I posted - Switching to standard cursor does keep the crash from happening, but that isn't very convenient - it would be better to fix the bug 🙂

[nacitalka pecka]

Still happening to me, sending a crash report also crashes - well, it sais "configure" or so, I have the Czech CC18 version, Windows. Changing the cursor to standart helped...

Magnetic lasso crashing when using that tool with both  Wacom tablet or with mouse.  With work machine I can select the tool and it crashes but on home machine I can click the first point with the wacom tablet before it crashes.

[dtristram]

Hi, the fix is being fast-tracked, but it is not available yet.  I'll post when you can use the Creative Cloud app to pick up an updated Photoshop with the fix .

This solved the same problem I was having. Thank you very much indeed.

When using the L key to go from the Lasso to the Polygonal Lasso or Magnetic Lasso, Photoshop crashes. Not with other keys

Same issue here - changed preference on cursor, but no matter. Just crashes. Not 100%, but becoming more frequent on choosing the magnetic lasso on manual select or key command.

Came her for the crash fix. Same problem with precise cursor and selecting magnetic lasso... CRASH!
