When transforming mask shape the mode changes

Selecting mask path on solid layer and then hitting ctrl + t to transform whilst dragging the transform box edges the mode of the mask randomly changes or cycles through. It then remains on whichever random mode it was on when releasing the mouse. This occurs both with mouse and pen tablet. Video attached. AE version 26.5.0

    Hi, I tried this on my end and I'm not able to reproduce it. Could you try running AE in Safe Mode with third-party plug-ins disabled and see if the mask mode still changes while transforming? https://adobe.ly/4ypsAPO

    If the issue goes away in Safe Mode, resetting your AE preferences should resolve it.

    Let me know how it goes.


    Thanks,
    Nishu

    Nope. Tried it in safemode in a new project and a solid with a rectangular mask applied behaves the same. I also tried it with a wired mouse, bluetooth mouse and pen tablet disabled

    Thanks for testing that and ruling out the input devices! Could you also try temporarily uninstalling the pen tablet driver, restarting your computer, and testing again with just the mouse?

    Please also share your system specs (OS version, CPU, RAM, and GPU) and the full AE version, including the build number. That’ll help us compare setups and investigate further.


    Thanks,
    Nishu
