Why can't I deselect anything?

Been using PS for about 4 months and this is the first time it won't let me deselect from Marquee, Quick Select, or Magic Wand. I can click and place it in other places and I can access the other tools but of course can't use them outside of the marked area. I just know it's something simple but I can't figure it out.

This is whats even crazier...

I changed the keyboard hotkey to CTRL+. and it works. But if I try to change it back, it will let me change it to anything BUT CTRL+D.

Sounds like a disgruntled programmer wanted to keep that combo off-limits.

Looks like ill be using CTRL+. from now on.

Good, Re-setting preferences works to get rid of this plague, but it also throws all of your prefered settings out the window with the wash... Worth it to get rid of unwanted behavior. Thanks to all who have chimed in to help with this problem. Appreciate.
