This is the first time this happened i dont know what on earth happened i was pressing some quick keys to save and edit some layered items in my photoshop.

and instead of the Regular cursor for the Marquee tool i get this hand and anytime i want to switch tools, ie; Paint, Selector, etc it stays as this hand and everytime i click it pops up a context menu saying (actual size, fit to size, zoom or something or another) and i restarted PS and restarted windows but it wont go away!

this is the first time it happened, im not sure if i activated something wrong, i cant get a screen shot of the hand but it looks like the icon next to the magnifying glass:

that is what my layout looks like, so its not selected but somehow i cant get around it!

if anyone can help please! i have been working on a long grueling project and now this haults me! urgh!!
thanks!!

It sounds as if your space bar is stuck or sticking.

That’s where most of the coffee and crumbs go!

thanks for your help, and i did notice when i accidentally press spacebare or a combination of keys that icon does show up.

must have activated something i didnt realize, heh long nights working! haha thanks again

Wouldn’t that make all the letters fall out? 8)

no. it’ll make all the crumbs fall out. hmm… maybe some of the punctuation too though. some of them can be pretty small… 🙂

I suppose when dave shook his he didn’t have the caps lock on and they all fell out!

Good thing I didn’t read this while drinking my coffee.
