Polygonal lasso selection tool: Backspace, escape and other keys stop responding during selection

Vesrion 23.5.1 - after some time, PS being open, when selecting with the polygonal lasso, PS develops a bug - it stops responding to Backspace and Escape keys. When mistakenly placing a polygon point, it cannot be deleted with Backspace, also Esc doesn't cancel the selection.

To recover from the locked state I have to Alt-Tab to another application.

To stop this behavior, PS must be restarted.

Against my better judgement I updated to the latest version (26.0) and this issue still persists randomly.

I've been working with Photoshop since version 2.0 and somehow Adobe keeps adding bugs every update and not fixing any of them to the point I'm seriously considering dropping the entire Adobe ecosystem...

I'm just going to make a post about this exact issue and found this post. This issue still persists from version to version and nobody care about it.
