Thanks to a commenter below, it looks like one can simply hit the space bar on the keyboard to fix the issue!

Opened up Photoshop CS3 today to find that none of the tools worked at all. No matter what tool i selected the mouse cursor would stay stuck on the hand icon and attempting to use the tool anyway did nothing. I was really quite confused. I couldn’t find a thing on the internet about it at all. I restarted the application several times with no dice. In my frustration I went to grab a drink. When i came back, the Photoshop application i had left open was working just fine *shrugs*. Odd huh?

I took another look on Google about it later and saw a few people discussing it. Some claimed it was a memory issue, some said you needed to reset all the tool and window preferences citing that the preferences file was corrupted. Seems to me a healthy dose of time is all it needs. My guess is that the thread managing the tools got held up doing something trivial such as looking for updates over the net.

Anyhow, thought I’d shout it out as i was pretty annoyed over it at the time.

I recently got my first of hopefully many wallet-busting Terminator collectibles in the form of a life size T-800 (or 101, depending on who you talk to) endoskeleton bust, and he is a beauty. This is the Combat (Battle Damaged) version of the bust, which is identical to the chromed version except it has been painted up a little. Full review after the jump.
