I am having issues when selecting objects using the rectangle tool. I do click on upper left, drag the mouse to lower right. I do see the dashed box that looks appears when I do a selection. However, when I release the mouse, nothing is selected.

Hi Christopher,

As the Rectangular Marquee Tool is not working as expected, could you please let us know the version of Photoshop and the operating system you're working on?

You may try resetting the tool and see if it helps: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/photoshop/kb/basic-troubleshooting.html#tool

Turn off your GPU acceleration settings in Preferences/Performance. Restart Photoshop and see if this shows up.
