If you hold down the Option key while using the Eraser, it turns into a "History Eraser"!

Oh I see what’s happening: the Option Key toggles between the Eraser and the History Eraser (which is choosable from the Option bar).

I had just never noticed it before.

Probably because I rarely use the Eraser!

I am more a History Brush and Mask-editing by Brush sort of user.

[Which reminds me to remind Chris about that infuriating History Palette—just in case he was thinking about forgetting to fix it in the next version!]

:~)
