PS + Wacom Tablet + Polygon Lasso = ignoring keyboard input (spacebar, backspace, enter)

[AA_D]

Hello,

It appears that its not just the pan (spacebar) that doesn't work - its several keys - all related to the lasso tool once the lasso has begun. Enter won't close a loop, spacebar won't pan, backspace won't go a step backward. Seems like keyboard input is ignored other than the escape key (so far that I have noticed). Issue happens regularly, ~10-20% of loops. This is highly aggravating when editing a large volume of images.

Based on similar threads the only fixes are ones that are registry hacks which disable pressure levels. Pressure levels are needed to be kept in tact.

Have already reset preferences and updated the software to the latest version with no luck. Wacom tablet driver is the latest version which supports Windows 11. OS is Windows 11.

Please fix this issue. Thanks!

Go to Preferences > Tools... and uncheck "Enable Flick Panning" and "Animated Zoom". Does the problem go away?

Hello Jeffrey,

Just wanted to give a follow-up. The issue still exists. It occurs to a lesser extent but it still occurs at a regular interval. Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Thank you Jeffrey!

Sorry for the delay. I had flick panning disabeled for a long time but not animated zoom. Once I disabled animated zoom the problem went away (if this helps for further debugging /tracking). I verified by editing several images and not a single one had the bug.

Thank you again for your help!

Just wanted to follow up on this. The issue has come back but it is less frequent but it still occurs regularly. I have confirmed the preference options are still set to disabled. Any other additional fixes available? Thanks!
