REMOVE TOOL BUGGY USING WACOM PEN

I’m getting strange behavior when using the Remove Tool with my Wacom Pen on an updated Windows 11 desktop. The first issue: When I circle an object to be removed, it does not fill in the area to remove the encircled section; only the outline is removed. The second issue: After making 3-5 pen strokes with the Remove Tool brush, the program freezes for about three minutes, followed by an error message that I’m out of RAM.

Here’s the strange part: None of these issues occur when I use a mouse. I can use the Remove Tool all day without any problem, as long as I set aside my Wacom Pen in doing so.

It’s an annoyance, and I’d love any thoughts on how I may remedy the bug.

Before posting, I reset my Photoshop Preferences and ensured that my graphics driver and Wacom Tablet were up to date – all to no avail. Additionally, I confirmed that I have plenty of Scratch Disk space and no RAM problems. Finally, I increased the Photoshop RAM allowance to 85 percent from the 70 percent default.

Thanks.
