Since upgrading to CC version I've lost a functionality that I really use a lot...the ability to move my selection in the elliptical marquee tool with the space bar. I used to be able to make a round marquee selection, then move it right into the position I want by pushing the space bar while still sizing it at the same time. This no longer works. How can I now move the marquee WHILE sizing it? I know I can make a selection, then go and move that selection, but I need to be able to simultaneously resize AND move it into position at once, which the space bar used to do for me. 😞 Please help!

Works fine here (Photoshop 20.0.4 on MacOS 10.12.6).
What have you done for trouble-shooting so far?
Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:

I did try the "rest all tools" option and that did not fix it. 😞 I'm using Photoshop CC 2019 on Mac OS 10.14.3.

Did you restore the Preferences completely?

I'm not sure...I did "reset all tools." Is there some other method to restore all preferences? I'm not sure why I would even need to restore anything...I literally JUST upgraded to CC2019 and haven't changed any preferences.

Um...wow. No I don't have a problem taking advice...that is why I am here asking for advice! I just was trying to wrap my head around why something would need restoring, when the software is brand new, that's all. Yikes. And yes, I did follow the link in post 1 above and tried that...which I replied to also above...the link took me to the steps to "reset all tools" and as I mentioned, I did that and nothing changed.

There is also a part titled »Restore Preferences«, did you do that?
Edit:

Preferences files can get corrupted, then they can cause malfunctions and need to be restored.

Restarting my computer fixed the problem.

I am using 24.0.1 on macOS Monterey12.6 and this happens sometimes. The Marquee tool will select but I cannot reposition it by holding the space bar. Quitting the App does not fix it. Rebooting fixes it until it appears again.
