When I go to crop an image with the crop tool, and drag it across the image… The crop appears to have selected the right image size, but the palette says the cropped area is only 1px x 1px. When I hit return/enter to accept the crop, my new canvas size is only 1px x 1px.
Any idea how to fix this bug? I’m using Photoshop 8.0.

First of all, don’t use the word ‘bug.’ When we find out the reason for the behavior you name then we can assign a category. Usually, problems like this are ‘user error’, but like I said, let’s wait until we get the problem resolved. What Mac are you using, specs including how much RAM, and what input devices?
I’ve experienced a 1×1 pixel (or similar undersize) crop a couple of times in CS3. Restarting with resetting the preferences makes everything good again.
Actually, I meant relaunching Photoshop. I’ll have to check the entries in the crop options bar though! — I forgot I could reset just the tool from there. <g>

It’s caused by having a number in the text field and then hitting delete to delete it…then hitting return to get rid of the blinking cursor… PS says "ooh, i need a value" and sticks 0 in, and then PS says " ooh, you can’t crop to 0, try 1 instead" and gives you an error message.
hitting tab works though, and allows you to leave the text field free.
Either it will be fixed in CS4 and something else basic will be bugged, or it will still be bugged. I expect my .ai extensions on exported paths to keep randomly falling off as well, i mean why not? They have done for the entire CS series to date.
