Pen tool stuck on add vertex

[rob_7403]

My pen tool is stuck on add vertex. I can change it to remove vertex, but not the default pen option or convert vertex, or mask feather. This was happening in 23.2. I updated to 25.1 but the problem persists.

I have tried the fix detailed in an old post relating to the same problem in version 16.1.3 - https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/the-pen-tool-is-stuck-on-add-vertex-tool-in... - but this has not worked.

Grateful for any solution - this is a pretty serious problem for the paricular work I need to do.

OK, this seems to work properly again, no idea why. I'd delete the original post but there doesn't seem to be that option.

Glad to hear that it worked. Feel free to reach out if it happens again.

Thanks,
