When I have something selected, if I got to add to the selection with any of the marquee tools (rectangular, elliptical, single row and single column) the cursor doesn't show up. It will show up if I choose the new selection, subtract from or even the intersect with selection modes. Its just the marquee tools with the Add to Selection that I don't get a visible cursor. I have tried deleting the preference file, resetting the tool, and even uninstalled/reinstalled photoshop. It is extremely hard to select things when you don't know where the cursor is and I can't seem to find a fix to this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A bug introduced by Tiger. :/
Ann Shelbourne posted a workaround which I believe involved dragging from inside the first selection.
#2
If I tap the option key it appears.

By golly, it does. Thanks.

Actually,it was from OUTSIDE.
;)
But with either the Shift, or Option key, (as required) being held down BEFORE you start to draw the selection.

The tap option key works beautifully. Do you think this will be fixed in an update anytime or am I stuck with it?
Thanks for the help everyone.

Michael:
It was an Apple-caused problem so it would probably need them to fix it.
But it's a pretty small one and, once you know the work-around, it's really not something to fuss about?

I don't mean to fuss about it, I was just curious. But thanks for the help.
