Hello All, after some 5 minutes of working on a file the cursor freezes on HAND TOOL eventhough I have not selected HAND TOOL ... tried to relaunch photoshop, don't work .. only restarting my mac did it reset only to freeze back to hand tool after some 5 minutes .. I have the 2020 version and running it on a MacBook Air OS Catalina, since two weeks and it only recently happened. What do I do? 

 

Thanks

Peter

Peter,

Someone had a similar issue in 2010 and the resolution came in 2018. Here is the link to the thread. https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-elements/curser-stuck-on-hand-tool/td-p/2702301

i use a HUION KAMVAS. the pen was the problem. if you have standard button bindings. the lower button acts like the space bar (hand tool). just press it again

I personally haven't had this issue. I will try to research and find a possible fix.
