Forgive me if this has been covered before, I searched and didn't find anything.
I just signed up for the Lightroom / Photoshop CC bundle for $10/month and have been working my way through learning Photoshop (I've gotten fairly proficient with Gimp so my transition is going pretty fast). I discovered that the lasso and magnetic lasso tools don't work right in that hitting the 'backspace' key won't undo the last point selected and hitting 'escape' won't get you out of the lasso tool. At first I assumed that I had accidentally screwed up a setting somewhere, but lo and behold this is a problem that Adobe knows about - I find it pretty surprising that they'd release software with this major of a bug.
From what I understand I can uninstall Photoshop CC and the install CS6 from the Adobe Cloud and use that until Adobe fixes the bug. Will I be giving up much functionality by doing that?
An update to CC was issued today that fixes the backspace bug:
