Marquee Tool - Is there a legacy setting?

Question

Hi everyone. Just another "update" causing me issues...

The marquee tool now seems to shift to only having options in the "style" box for "generate image" or "import image".

I just want to use the good old marguee tool on normal / ratio etc. but seems to keep switching to this new version where width / height are greyed out.

Any thoughts? Can't find a legacy button like some of the other new features that overcomplicate everything.

Thanks in advance

Are you confusing the new Contextual Bar (often floating around, in an almost stalking manner) with the older and still very useful Options bar (nomally positioned at the top) ? Don't worry, that old one is still around. You can find it almost at the bottom of the Windows menu, or simply switch to (or Reset) the Essentials workspace. If it's something else, then could you make screenshot of what you're seeing ?
