Polygonal lasso tool - can't delete points anymore.

[ivan25349743g7a0]

From as long as i remember Photoshop back to v6 there was ability to delete points you place using Polygonal lasso tool by simply pressing Del key on keyboartd, now with latest version of PS they totally removed this ability and if you mess up complex selection, have to start over entire thing.

Please put back ability to delete it back.

Hey, @ivan25349743g7a0. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll help you figure this out. 

As a test, try using the Polygonal Lasso tool with the Shift key to draw straight lines before using backspace to erase. If that does not work, reset the Polygonal Lasso tool itself. Right-click on the P. Lasso Tool icon in the Toolbar menu and select Reset Tool.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks!

On second try it did work, but there was some situation when it was not working, i always used Del key did not know Backspace also deletes it now will try Backspace that next time if it happens again that Del stops working.

It involves creating a work path from your selection (a right mouse click) and the direct selection tool.  Let me know if you need more than that.
