pen tool is acting 'glitchy"

Question

the last 48 hours the pen tool is acting up. It is being over sensitive and creating new plot lines instead of adding plot points. Clicking the plot point to move is either flipping it back and forth from straight to curved without prompting. this is outside of it's norm as it usually functions as usual

Hi @defaultzx52r3wp577j are you on the latest Ps beta?

Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.4.0 20250126.m.2955 966eec6 arm64

Try resetting Prefs for the Beta:
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ Photoshop Beta Settings (Mac Ventura)
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/Adobe\ Photoshop\ \(Beta\)\ Settings (Mac) 

C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Adobe Photoshop (Beta) Settings

Launch BETA Photoshop While Pressing The Keyboard Shortcut
With Photoshop closed, press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and then Launch Photoshop the way you normally would.
