P: Polygonal Lasso Tool closes too easily on MacOS 10.9 with Wacom tablet

Hello, I recently upgraded to Mavericks, and I have a MAJOR problem that is giving me problems.

The Polygonal lasso tool using a Wacom tablet. The lasso too decides to close the mask before I want it to. This happens constantly when trying to mask object with the Polygonal Lasso tool - forcing me to use a mouse when working.

I hope this will be adrdessed and fixed soon. There ́s no way for me to roll back the Mavericks upgrade, but as it is right now, Photoshop isn ́t working optimal in Mavericks for me.

    Note that you don't need that plugin in CC 2014.

    IT WORKS!!! I tested it right now and I can say, the polygon lasso tool works just like it should, excellent! Hope the issues get upgraded in future without using the plug in, but if not, it's a good solution.

    Photoshop CC version 14.1.2. Polygonal Lasso Tool only lets me set 4 to 5 points before it closes automatically. I am using a Wacom tablet. Never had this problem before with earlier versions. Does it with my crappy mouse too, but not as bad. Settings issue? Or a bug. Please let me know! I spend a lot of time masking out photos and this has screwed with my workflow big time. Thanks

    I basically can't make selections because all the lasso tools with close the selection prematurely. As im drawing or clicking points to make a selections, the dotted line indicating the path disappears and after a moment closes the selection.
