P: Esc key doesn't cancel a drawn crop in Classic Mode

Photoshop version 22.5.1, I feel that this is a bug because before this version of photoshop it did not occur. When I have drawn the crop with the crop tool but have not commited to the crop by hitting the enter key, I use to be able to cancel the crop that I had drawn by hitting the escape key. That would cancel the crop that was drawn but keep me in the crop tool. That no longer works with version 22.5.1. The only way I can cancel the crop that was drawn is to click on another tool. I feel that this is a bug and should be fixed. I am running Windows 10.

Please reinvestigate this issue for Photoshop release 25.2.0. Again, the ESC key does not work to do the things that used to work as described in this post.

I just updated to 23.2.0, and the crop bug is no more. Many thanks!

When I use the crop tool in Photoshop 2022, sometimes I make a mistake and hit ESC to cancel it. But even after I cancel it, the cropping bounding box remains on screen. Previously when I hit ESC, the bounding box disappeared. Leaving the old, undesired cropping bounding box on the image makes it doubly difficult to start my proper crop the way I want it.

I trashed my Preferences, and after restarting Photoshop with new prefs, the same thing occurred.

I did notice that this only occurs with my Crop tool settings set to "Use Classic Mode." When that's unchecked, this bug does not occur. The easy solution is "don't use Classic Mode," but I much prefer Classic Mode to the alternative... all except for this bug.

I open an image.

Make a selection with the crop tool.

Press Esc several times but the selected area does not dissapear.

I have to make a click to make it dissapear; but in the past Esc worked.

Since at least version 22.5.1 (and until 23.0.1), i've seen this behavior of the crop tool in "classic mode":
1. Select crop area

2. Cancelling the cropping with the ESC key. The crop shield disappears, leaving the cropping frame outline. It is non-functional (it cannot be moved or resized), with any next action it disappears (select another tool, click on the canvas).

Perhaps this is not a bug, but I do not understand the meaning of this behavior and in the process of working it is difficult to understand the state of the crop frame.

Disabling native canvas doesn't help. Disabling GPU acceleration also (the most interesting thing is that with disabled GPU acceleration, I do not see the cropping frame in normal operation, but after pressing the ESC key, the same outline about which I wrote above appears).

Problem appears:
Windows 10 x64, Nvidia Quadro P2000 (latest drivers 30.0.14.7247)
Windows 10, NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000 (with out of date drivers, - 27.21.14.5257)
Windows , Intel HD Graphics 4600

It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.

Yes, I can replicate. Same issue on a Win 10, NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000 (with out of date drivers, - 27.21.14.5257 - but I see that @jazz-y has the issue with recent ones. )

@Kukurykus which GPU, and drivers?

That said, it is not a showstopper, it disappears at the first operation, but is not expected behaviour.
