pan (space bar) doesn't work mid-lasso tool

Community Beginner ,

I start a selection using lasso then hit spacebar to temporarily switch to the hand/pan tool and it doesn't work. It switches to the hand icon but the image doesn't pan. I'm using the latest Photoshop and have updated my graphic card drivers. Scrubby zoom doesn't work mid-lasso either, though it will zoom in and out with a click.

 

Maybe a related issue is that when panning an image with the crop tool, the image is jerky/glitchy and not smooth. I've never had these issues before. I checked my performance settings and everything seems fine. Suggestions appreciated. Thank you!

The Poly lasso  has the same issue but it auto pans when you move past the image windows window frame.  I'm more inclined to use the poly lasso myself so the lasso issue in not a big issue for me,  Many Tools auto pan when you reach the edge of the image window frame I think it would be an improvement if the lasso tool followed suite.

Sorry, I mean the polygon lasso tool. I do notice that it auto-pans at the edge of the screen, but I've always used the pan tool for this in the past. Strange it doesn't work now.

To plain lasso tool has a real problem it does not auto pan and will auto close if you let the mouse button up because it does not switch to the hand pan tool with spacebar..
