Hi, I’ve seen multiple users report this issue over the past few months: the Delete key only works occasionally (around 1 in 10 times) when using the Lasso Tool. I only found one developer/moderator reply, but the suggested fix didn’t help.
At first, I tried closing overlapping UI panels, and even Spotify, Firefox... but that didn’t fully resolve it.
The only solution that worked for me was rolling back to an older version. I'm currently using version 26.0, and the issue is gone.
I hope the dev team can fix this soon, it’s been going on for nearly a year. Thanks!
I understand how frustrating this can be. I've tested the latest version (26.6) and the backspace key works fine for me with the polygonal lasso tool, but we might be using different machines. Could you share your System Info so we can take a look and try to reproduce the issue? You can find it in Photoshop under Help > System Info. Just copy the info to a text file and attach it to your response, or share it with us through Google Drive, WeTransfer, or another file-sharing platform.
Thanks a lot for your patience!
