Latest update is causing brush to randomly lose pressure sensitivity for a few strokes at a time (especially/but not limited to: after zooming in or out). Have not had this issue prior to latest update. Any solutions?

Updated to 21.1.3 and the problem persists. Still just randomly losing pressure often --- my current workaround is to have my current brush easily available as a tool preset in the floating window so i can quickly reset the tool. Please help!

This has started happening to me since update, happens every time I show and hide a layer, I have to reset the pen for the pressure sensitivity to come back. Very frustrating!

PS 21.1.3 has fixes for pen pressure.

I am having the same problem as the original poster. Cursor looses pressure sensitivity quite constantly (like every 5 or 10 minutes).

When it started I'd quit PS and restart it, now I found out that clicking once with the mouse would re-establish the pen pressure, but it's a real pain in the neck as I have to get the mouse, click, undo (because I very rarely want a 100% pressure brush) and then go back to the pen and tablet. Extremely annoying and disappointing considering how much we pay for the subscription.

Using a MacBook Pro 16,1 with Catalina 10.15.4 and a Wacom Intuos Pro with the latest driver. I imagine it's a PS problem thou as this only happens in PS.

The latest update didn't fix it.

Jeffery, does the latest update fix these problems in Mac Catalina?
