The masking tools are not functioning properly.

The masking tools in the latest version of acr are basically unusable. One swipe with the brush tool creates the spinning wheel of doom, which leads me to force quit. Even with a simple radial gradient you can see the mask struggling to form. When you undo an edit, it takes a second or more to undo/redo. Before anyone suggests it's my computer, it isn't (M2 Max, 64GB). This has only been happening since the last update about a week ago.

    Try resetting graphics support in ACR Preferences. Your issue is not universal as all works perfectly for me though obviously my system differs from yours. You didn't want the "it's your computer" response but it does look like this may be a GPU issue of some kind. Which GPU do you have and do you have whatever is the latest driver version installed?

    Correction. It worked briefly. I’m right back to a 5-6 second wait before the screen refreshes after the undo command. Can you point me toward GPU configuration and or driver version?
