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.

    Just because we have early access, and report a lot of bugs, does not mean that those bugs will be fixed before the OS ships.

    If only there was some kind of way for Adobe to get access to Apple's new operating systems more then 6 months before public release, so you could test that your software will work before your customers run into functionality issues with basic tools.. Oh wait.. They have that: https://developer.apple.com/programs/...

    Also, the lasso tool still works fine in FireWorks, so it kind of indicates that it is possible for Adobe to fix this without involving other parties.

    10.9.2 fixes some known issues, but not many of them affecting Photoshop. (I'm still running 10.8).

    We're constantly working on these issues - and they take time. Plus sometimes we have to wait for other parties to finish their research/fixes/testing.

    Im curious if the latest update to Mavericks 10.9.2 helps anything, or if I should stick with mountain Lion. I ́m also curious what is being done to address this problem and the Keystroke bug in Mavericks - we haven ́t heard anything for quite some time now.

    I just tested it for a minute, first try it closed the mask after 5 points. Second try, which i did a little bit slower it worked fine. But could even be imagination by myself 🙂 But the line is still invisible sometimes.
