I think that there is something deeply wrong with the cut tool, or maybe I am doing something wrong... it crashes a lot and sometimes it doesn't cut anything, even when it is trespassing the entire mesh. Right now it's a matter of luck using the tool
We've seen the cut tool crash when you're accidentally cutting all your layers at once - This happens by not selecting "Active Layer Only" in the tool settings, and can be deadly because cutting all layers will also cut hidden layers - or cutting layers that are super high res. Possible it could be attributed to that?
Going to take this opportunity to lobby for an "area selection" approach to the cut tool, ideally using a cube or similar straight edge stamp shape. If not practical, would probably be best if the default was "active layer only".
