Crashing several times a day - clicking on curve point

[12robot1983]

Hey

For the past few weeks im having several crashes a day, the trigger seem to be when i create a new curve adjustment then click to create a new point. Crash. No solution.

This issue didnt seem to correlate with an os or photoshop update, just started happening. I've since updated photoshop and it seemed ok for a while, but then its started happening again. Is this something thats being resolved?

@12robot1983 have you tried manually resetting your Photoshop preferences

Remember to back up your settings before doing the preference reset

cheers i'll try that first. Why is the first advice always to reset preferences? Why are preferences always messing things up??
