Random diagonal lines when using clone tool

I updated to Photoshop version 21.1.0 a couple days ago. Now I am having a problem. When using the clone tool, spot healing, or healing brush (might be a few others I haven't tried) I get random diagonal lines. I have tried to restart, recheck settings etc. but it is still messed up.

Any ideas?

Thank you...

When using brushes (or brush like tools) in Photoshop, holding down the Shift key while clicking will give you straight lines between those points. Could this be your issue?

Could you post a screen shot so we can see exactly what your issue is. Cheers.

I am not holding down the shift key...etc...I hold the alt key and click for the source area, then click where to put the "clone spot" and then I get his fabulous diagonal line.

This just became a problem with the update. Any help is surely appreciated!

Below is an example.

Tried that - still doing it. Thank you for the advice though!

Hi

It's a bug in the latest version, if you're on Windows 7 you'll need to revert back to version 21.0.3, if you on Windows 10 and you use a Wacom tablet with have the PSUserConfig file added you can delete this and enable use Windows Ink in the Wacom settings.

If you don't have a wacom tablet and use a mouse you'll need to revert to 21.0.3 also
