Just wondered if anyone has had any problems with this tool. I rarely use it and tried to the other day and it wouldn't 'select' after I had gone around my image, stopping/(anchoring) in a couple places. When I came to the start I didn't have any 'marching ants'
Maybe someone can let me know what I did wrong?

Once you have "connected" you can still adjust the selection by moving points/segments/ you have to strike [Enter] to finalize the selection and get the marching ants.
Another common pitfall is to have previously made the ants invisible (Ctrl-T). When you strike [enter] the selection seems to disappear.
