Brush mode zooms in unexpectedly at the start of each brush stroke.

I updated Lightroom CC a few days ago and today I am using the masking brush since the first time since the update.  It's kind of a disaster,  in Mask mode, the brush tool zooms in unexpectedly at the start of each of my brush strokes and then immediately zooms back out. This is causing my brush to cut through parts of the image that are already masked. Every click it zooms in and zooms out. 

I am a professor of photography and teach lightroom, so it's not user error!  This is a new bug that only showed up with the new options for Super Resolution and Distraction Removals.  

I do have super-resolution added to the image that I am working on, so I am guessing the bug has something to do with that.   I have to try to click on an an empty area (hard to do when zoomed in) so that the quick zoom in and out doesn't drag my brush through an existing mask. I often have to immediately undo the brushstroke and try again.  It is VERY annouying and time consuming. 

Since I work at a University, my account doesn't even have the option with the "talk to us"  help button. It just tells me to talk to the local administrator. I don't think they can help me since I think this is a software bug!

Hi @lorih28626315! Thanks for reaching out, and I’m sorry to hear you’re running into issues with Lightroom.

I tried reproducing the problem on my end, but I’m not seeing those zooms when using the masking brush. Could you share a few more details, like which version of Lightroom and operating system you’re using? If you’re able to, a screen recording showing the steps to get this issue and all panels visible would really help us understand what’s going on.

Thanks so much!
Alek

I am having the same exact issue. The only thing I could do was uninstall this version and reinstall the older version.
