It's not uncommon for Photoshop and other Adobe products to be unintuitive and appear broken. So can someone tell me, is this a bug or did i configure something wrong that results in the crop tool and fill not working correctly anymore?
Hi @thomaswefact we see you have the crop tool selected but you have not commited the crop or canceled it when trying to fill. What happens if you select whatever crop you want and THEN try to fill?
The crop tool, as you can see, didn't work either. At least not how I am used to it, click and dragging it usually creates the crop. But this time I couldn't. No idea what triggered Photoshop into this behavior. I closed and deleted the file and can't really reproduce it. But Photoshop has unexpected behavior for me ever so often.
@thomaswefact a good thing to do when issues like this come up is the reinstall clean prefs as a way to get back to a clean install. Follow these directions and see if it helps.
Let's make sure we're in a default state and there are no stale settings somewhere:
Restore your preferences using this manual method:
About a dozen times a year I get very weird PS behavior, even when I think anything memory related is just fine. Restarting PS fixes it. Thing is to recognize weird behavior a.s.a.p., so you can still save.
