P: Photoshop drawing random lines when using tools (Remove, Brush and other drawing tools)

Using photoshop V 27.3

When I try to draw a line with a mouse, upon the very first click, instead of a circle appearing at the point of my curser, a totally random line, sometimes multiple, will spawn from the origin of the click. Sometimes the next time I try to draw a line, it will be fine, but if I switch tools or change windows(eg. click on google chrome and then back to photoshop), the random lines will appear again. I’ve seen some previous posts and tried the solutions listed there, eg. turning off GPU, turning off rulers, etc, but nothing works. Hoping someone has a fix for this 

I am having an issue after the latest Photoshop updates with the tools behaving erratically. For ex. the Patch tool will make a random zigzag selection and the same happens with other tools like the regular Brush, Healing Brush, Clone Stamp etc. It seems like a glitch that randomly happens and you have to try several times to make the tool work.

I updated to the latest version and the problem persists.

Here is a screen recording

what’s going on? Some posts have just been simply deleted. A serious bug currently ongoing with brush, stamp tools, etc being completely impossible to control is the subject of many posts like the following one have just disappeared!  So impossible now to get any feedback or follow up! 😡
