Got a new laptop, and in my first session with photoshop, when I try to use the lasso tool and then pan with spacebar while keeping my current lasso it no longer goes to hand tool. The lasso tool stays and now I can't pan with spacebar while still maintaining the active lasso.

Resetting preferences did not solve it. And interrupting an active lasso with spacebar to pan worked on all zoom levels before, at least on PS 2019

Its been reported.      Adobe has a problem in their Photoshop Pen support with WinTab and Windows Ink support.  There is a slight difference.   If you use Windows INK when you press the Space Bar the cursor will change from the lasso tool cursor to the hand tool and you can pan with your mouse but not with your Pen.  If you use WinTab for pen support like I do when you press the Space Bar the lasso tool cursor does not change to the  hand tool you can not pan.
