Masking and other tools do not work in the new Color mode program monitor

When I am in the colour tab and I click on the tools like masking, pen tool, or the text tool, none of them work on the program monitor, they work in edit mode but that means switching back and forth between both modes constantly to see the effects of changes

@anufavb @DirectorWillThomas Could you please check if you have Filter/Sort applied or are in solo mode, When you are in Solo you will see this S button active.
Masking in solo mode is not availble in current beta
On beta, You should be able to use masking in Color mode by toggling Solo setting button or clearing any Filter/Sort applied in clipgrid

I couldn’t test it out because I had uninstalled the beta already, just redownloaded it and tested it out. Can confirm that it was the filter that was on because I had photos and videos in my project, and the filter was to show only videos. Masking works fine now, thanks.
