This has been driving me nuts for years. I restart photoshop trying to fix the problem and then restart my computer, which usually fixed it. Obviously because it reset the caps lock state. Thanks for posting this!

Same here, I have found this really annoying - I’ve never known why Photoshop does this - good one Photoshop Ninja!

Thanks…I use a lot of grunge brushes and some of them are hard to visualize without the outline!

Hey, thanks so much for posting this. I knew it was right around the Tab key, but couldn’t figure it out. Another reason to make sure Caps Lock is off.
