Using Photoshop CS2: Sometimes when I am using the cropping tool, if I hold down the mouse button and drag out a cropping rectangle, but leave the mouse motionless for too long in one place, the entire clipping rectangle goes wonky and the screen flashes, and all of the palettes go blank. I’m not sure what is taking place. If I keep dragging and let go the mouse, the cropping seems to work as normal. But the flashing of the screen is very unsettling. It seems intentional, and yet if I hold move the mouse a bit and then continue holding the button down for a couple of seconds without moving it, the blinking screen happens again and even more of the Photoshop UI gets blanked out (e.g., the photo I’m working on at the moment). Is this a bug, or is it some feature I’m not aware of? It is not consistently reproducible, so I suspect it might be a bug.
