Pen Tool Randomly Deactivating Briefly (a LOT)
Just updated to CC 2025 and have been introduced a bug where the pen tool now randomly deactivates for a split second and begins a new path. I've tried rebooting the suite, closing all other programs, but the issue is persistent. It happens so often I just clocked it at around 3-4x per minute. Insanely frustrating and making things take far longer than they should.
I'm running on a brand new M3 MacBook Air, not a complex file at all either.

Austin, I made many attempts to replicate it, watched video frame by frame, but failed to make it happen :(
All I can do for now is to ask questions:
1. Does it differ if you place a new point further away from the previous one and its handles?
2. Does it differ if you don’t pull out handles at all and instead just click, creating a polyline?
3. Does it differ if make pauses longer between click?
4. Are you sure you don’t have any services launched that can send 'Escape'?
5. Do you have any plugins installed? (these CAN influence native tools, trust me, I had many now solved cases with them)
6. Are you able to test Ai Beta (it’s available for all users in CCD app) and see if something similar happens there as well?
