Hand tool stuck while using some Photoshop features

On macOS, the Hand tool gets stuck when you're using the Liquify filter, Save for Web, or the Camera Raw plug-in. Find out how to solve this issue..

Issue

While using the Liquify filter (Filter > Liquify), Save For Web, or the Camera Raw plug-in in Photoshop on macOS, you are not able to select any other tool apart from the Hand tool. For example, if you try to select the Zoom tool in the Liquify window, Photoshop still displays the Hand tool.

This issue is known to be caused by recent drivers for Wacom tablets.
