Missing Paint bucket tool in tool pallete

[dragantomas]

Hi all,

I am using Photoshop CC latest version, and I discovered today that there is no paint bucket tool in the tool pallet. There where the gradient tool is in the tool pallet, I click and held on it, but there is no usual flyout menu extending to right whereby the paint bucket tool should be showing. All other tools are showing fine up and down in the tool pallet.

I went to Keyboard Shortcuts and Menus, was able to trace it there under Shortcuts for Tools, and I am aware that I can add an other single letter shortcut, however I really want to bring it back under a 'G' where it always was with the gradient.

Someone knows what is going on here and how to fix this?

In the Tool panel, in the lower part there's a symbol with three little circles, clic on that symbol to have back all the tools. They're hidden in there.

I have just installed the latest version of PS CC and do not see a symbol with 3 circles.  Can anyone help?

Ok 2018 now puts the paint bucket within the last tool which was showing Long vertical Marquee.  A bunch of tools there....

You see where the red arrow is pointing towards in the screenshot i uploaded? Its there. Make sure that with your mouse, dont just click, but keep it press on the 3 dots for 2-3 second so that the flyout menu appears, where you will see all other not shown tools.

Where is the tool panel located

When I try and do that 3 circle thing it says no options for edit tool bar - I just want my paint bucket pls...

If you go to edit > toolbar, you'll be able to see all available tools and customize your tool bar however you see fit!

I stopped updating and am at CC 2019 so this kind of crap would stop. why? why would you hide the tools? OMG so frustrating.

You might have changed it Gradient Tool without knowing. Just right click on it and change it back to Paint Bucket Tool
