My Pen Tool lines keep pointing edges inward/automatically making shapes!!

[Kayla280696689gsz]

I am hoping someone will help! I keep Googling my problem and NOTHING is coming up!

My pen tool in Premiere Pro suddenly started acting funny. 

First, when I make a jointed line with the pen tool, it keeps pointing the edges inward almost like it's TRYING to make a shape/triangle. I attached a photo. 

Plus, the reason why I say it's trying to make a shape is because it literally has connected a few times on its own and made a shape when all I want is like a jointed line. 

Second, I've been playing around with my settings for hours trying to fix this... that sometimes the pen tool will suddenly start acting funny. When I click, it just keeps making multiple shape layers, yet, I cannot see anything or make an actual like. I think it's just making anchor points but I can't seem to fix it unless I close Premiere Pro and start over without saving. 

I don't know what I did but I  am guessing I turned a setting on by accident and can't seem to pinpoint what is causing it to automatically make shapes.

Please help because this is literally driving me CRAZY.

Try resetting the preferences:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:
Reset a workspace
Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
1. Do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
• Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.

If that doesn’t work, try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site. If NVIDIA, do a clean installation of the latest Studio Driver (NOT the Game Driver).

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.

Go to the properties panel (used to be the EGP) and open the wrench (graphics properties) under Appearance.

Try adjusting the stroke styles.

I had this trouble. I my case the right answer was: In the Properties window, selecting the graphic, then Appearance, next to the stroke pixel width there is a menu for selecting the mode, select center.
