In Tiger (OS X 10.4), when I wanted to crop an image in Preview, I would make a rectangular selection by clicking and dragging. If I held down the Option key while doing so, a little window would appear next to my cursor that displayed the pixel dimensions of the selected area. This allowed me to adjust the selection to precisely the size I wanted, which was very useful. However, in Leopard (OS X 10.5), this feature seems to have disappeared. I hold down the Option key but that little selection dimension display doesn't show. Did Preview lose a feature in the Leopard upgrade, or am I doing something wrong?
