What is the work around you are suggesting, exactly? Go to an older version like downgrading from 4.9.17 to your 4.8.31? Try a beta version? Stop using the steam client and switch my license to 3Dcoat.com? There are multiple topics discussed there.

Steam says it is version 4.9.17

I've been playing with the snake and spikes tools more on whatever the current steam version is, and while I like how they look, they have a major bug when using and then undoing them. 3D Coat will sometimes undo them as it should, but just as often it will undo whatever was done BEFORE the snake tool was used and will leave the formed snake on the model instead of removing it. Sometimes clicking redo and then undo again will fix it, but sometimes it will not. I'm not sure how to get rid of them when that trick doesn't work other than starting over with a loaded save or new model. I tried it again before finally making this post. I made a voxel cylinder, made a snake connected to it, tried to undo, and it wouldn't go away. It happens with or without Symmetry turned on. The bug makes using either tool very dangerous unless you remember to save first so you can reload without it.

Thank you. I have no idea how it got set to that tool but could not figure out how to change it

I bought 3D Coat on steam after using the 4.8 trial, which I downloaded from 3D Coat's website. I uninstalled the trial before installing the steam paid version. After launching after the 4.9 update, using the Open GL 64 bit version on windows 10 64bit, for the first time after the update, the tools do not work correctly. They seemed to, at first. I made a new voxel sphere and the grow tool did normal things, then I clicked the Cut Off tool and it cut a hole through the center, as normal, but now I can't do much of anything anymore because I can't rotate the screen with most tools, I can't do anything with most tools except draw a green rectangle that makes a "button" out of the material anywhere on the 3D area. Some tools do work, the useful ones do not. I closed it down and re-launched. Still happens. For example I make a new voxel sphere. I click Smudge and then I click anywhere in the 3d window. The same green rectangle area select box comes up and when I drag and let go, I get a rectangular "button" of whatever material I am using where the green box was drawn I click pinch and the same thing. I click grow and the same thing. I click scrape and the same thing. There is a window with Tool Options - Border. I can select a few different border styles. I do not know what tool is locked on and I cannot get rid of it. I cannot use the program like this. I closed it down and re-loaded with non Open GL version and still it is stuck on this same broken tool.
