P: Bug when using adjustment brush, mask overlay and a Wacom tablet

I have found a bug found in Lightroom 6. When I use the adjustment brush, I use the ‘show selected mask overlay’ feature but with Lightroom 6 it is hardly visible when you make an adjustment. Very very pale pink. With Lightroom 5 it was much more visible. If I go to adjust an existing photo I altered first in Lightoom 5 and open it in Lightroom 6 the mask overlay is much deeper pink but as soon as I brush on more adjustment, what ever I add shows as pale pink. The problem happens when I use a Wacom tablet or Wacom mouse. I have just had a chat to Victoria Bampton and she just reproduced the same problem with her Wacom tablet. With her Apple trackpad though it worked fine. I am using Yosemite 10.10.3.

    LR CC & Win 8.1 here. The pen pressure issue is major. Perfect in LR 5.7 which I've had to revert to if I want to get big projects quickly and smoothly processed.

    Adobe, put this up near the top of your list of bug fixes in LR CC's first revision.

    Hope they come up with a fix soon as this seems to be becoming a common issue with Lightroom 6.

    Hello, I am experiencing the same issue of a lack of sensitivity in Lightroom CC when using the adjustment brush. I am running Windows 7 with an Intuos Pro. In Lightroom 5.7 the pressure sensitivity works, in Lightroom CC it does not. I am running driver version 6.3.11-4. I thought I had disabled Windows Ink to try and avoid issues with the Spot Healing tool - however I note this was actually enabled. I have tried both unticking it and re-ticking it but it didn't make a difference.

    What's about fix from Adobe? In 5.7.1 pen pressure works. In CC not. That can only be a bug in LR CC!

    A lot of windows users with a wacom tablet has the same problem.

    6.3.11-4 - It is the same problem I had until I deactivated the Windows native pen and tablet features as described here http://www.volnapc.com/all-posts/how-...

    Interesting. Thankfully not experienced that issue. Which Wacom tablet and driver are you using.

    This also highly affects the useablity of the sliders in LR6. It is a pain in the a$$ to move sliders with a Wacom pen. Win 8.1 64bit here

    A user of a german forum with a mac doesn't have this problem too... but all others with a win system have all the same problem like me.

    So the same tablet, the latest driver for the OS and just a different OS to Victoria who is using a Mac. Does not seem to be much consistency with the problem at the moment of who gets it and who does not.
