Issue with the clone stamp tool

Hi there

 

I have noticed that with Photoshop 2020 my clone stamp tool is not behaving properly.  If I try to clone something, it will clone for a second or so and then stop.  To continue cloning I need to first release the left button of the mouse and re-click it.  To clone something large might take several clicking of the mouse.  Is anyone else having this issue with the clone stamp tool?  Is it bug that I need to wait for an update? Thanks in advance

        I'm working on a mac, and using Ps 2020 version 21.0.1using wacom version 6.3.37-3 and I have used all of the suggestions on fixing the clone tool but non of them work. This is very frustating when you are woking on live jobs and your clone tool dose not work the way it should.

        I have Highlighted the stamp tool problem so that you can see it. When you Alt Click and stamp the tool has a mind of its own drawing a line from one point to the other. Please see attached.

        I have the same problem. When I use the stamp tool, I get a straight line. I can not trace the causes of this problem. it can appear when it is pleasing at any stage of working with photography. This is terribly annoying when retouching photos.

        i have imac pro and wacom

        The problem disappears when I go into the settings and reset the dialog error.

        I don’t understand what to do next.
