Pen tool rubber band disappears

After the latest PS CC upgrade, the rubber band disappears for paths within paths, such as a donut hole. Workaround is to start a new path for the inside shape and then paste it into the original path. Can this be fixed or is it a bug in the newest update? Please help. Thanks.

My pen tool was working OK with 22.3 but was broken with 22.3.1

Turning off Use Open CL in Preferences > Performance ? GPU > Advanced fixed it for now, but a whole lot of people are going to pleased when all the GPU related issues are finally fixed!

Hi @ddarian ,

Keep the path active per @c.pfaffenbichler 's suggestion and you should be good.

Please keep us postd on your progress.

I greatly appreciate your suggestions but, alas, the problem persists.
I'll use the example of a donut to indicate outer path (donut) and inner
path (hole).
If I draw the donut as a working path, adding the hole is fine, that is,
the rubber band appears.
If I save the donut (path1) and then try to add the inner path, no
rubber band appears. This just started happening recently and that's why
I suspect an Adobe update.
The workaround is to draw the inner path as a working path and then
paste it into the saved path (path1). Never had to do that before. I
often need to alter paths that are saved in documents.
Please try on your end and advise. Perhaps for me it's just a setting.
Thanks in advance!

Did you not understand what I wrote?

Maintain a Work Path. A Work Path with one Point is enough …

Then working on the named Paths functions as expected.
