If you copy a work from one document to another using ctrl + drag, the pen tool becomes 1 pixel thick and does not become thin again.


thanks google translate

Hi there,

That shouldn't be happening, could you please let us know the version of Photoshop you're working with?

Also, after selecting the Pen Tool, at the top bar menu there's a settings icon.

This opens the Path Options dialog box where you can change the thickness of the path outline from as small as 0.5 pixels to as large as 3 pixels. You can also choose a different color for the path. I'll set the Thickness to 3 px and the Color to Magenta. Note that these settings are there only to help you see your path as you're working. They have no effect on the actual appearance of the path in the document. To close the Path Options dialog box, click again on the gear icon.

 

Regards,
Sahil

all path lines that you write after will all appear bold

 

it happens in any order, but once you do this, you're clearly experiencing problems.
