polygonal lasso tool auto-completes unexpectedly - elements 2022

[HU2022]

Polygonal lasso tool auto-completes unexpectedly. But if I rotate the image 90 to left or right, the problem gets solved ! If I rotate it back to its original position, the problem still persists. So strange. At the top of the picture, where it also automatically closes, the lasso does not choose. Lasso doesn't work in that area. I have seen many similar situation complaints for Lasso tool on Google for the last 10 years. It's not really understandable that it's still not permanently resolved yet.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

tried the followings

* marked/ unmarked - Edit > Preferences > Performance >use graphic processor for improving performance

* Although it is an Nvidia RTX card, the PSE does not see it either. It only sees the Intel onboard card. * updated graphics card drivers

*Adobe Photoshop Elements Version: 20.0 (20210907.Git.master.dc62918) x64

* Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit

This is a very complex orrnament which is positioned against fingers. Note how the skin fills some of the intersteses.

The contrast between foreground/background is suboptimal when I open the posted file. You can probably improve this.

Try the Magnetic lasso tool, but that may not fetch it either. In situations like this, I have used a mask to great advantage in making a complex selection.

I found two soltions at the end to overcome this problem.
Solution 1:
I tried several resolutions. (exit PSE and re run for each resolution setting)
3072x1920 - did not work

2560x1600 - did not work
*** 2560x1400 - worked without any problem

Solution 2:
First I selected Lasso tool than pushed ALT key(windows 10) to turn lasso tool to Polygonal as I do selection and  worked fine. There is no unexpected auto-complete now.
