Question

Brush tool leaves trail of black boxes when painting on layer mask

In PS 2020 when using the brush or pencil tool of any kind, it will leave a trail of black boxes as I paint or draw on a layer mask or the mask alpha channel. The image returns to normal when I toggle layer visiblilty, but this makes it impossible to use masks properly.

 

Edit: I have noticed that this occurs with the most frequency when I'm using a clipping path linked to something being masked, but it's not restricted to that, it's just far more common an issue in those cases.

 

I have a Nivida GeForce 1060 6GB

INtel Core i7-8700 @ 3.2ghz

64GB of RAM

 

All drivers are up to date.

 

Attached are visuals of the issue I'm referring to.

 

Any insight into how this happened will be much appreciated.

Hi did you checked brush flow and opacity ?

Yes. And I've toggled various ones to test to see if that was the issue. No change, unfortunately.
