Photoshop CC 2018: Polygonal Lasso Tool Auto-completes unexpectedly
This has occurred very recently but among several computers that I and also many co-workers use at home and at work. PC and Mac.
This seems to happen when using Wacom Tablets (cintiq's, intuos, and bamboo)
It seems to be when you use windows ink. But also using windows ink is the only way to have pressure sensitivity with a Wacom and Photoshop.
Basically you use the Poly Lasso tool and somewhere unexpectedly it autocompletes.
Here's a gif I recorded of the problem in action

Just follow this instructions from the Adobe forum (https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1501276):
1) Disable Windows Ink on the Wacom preferences app;
2) Create a text file in a plain text editor such as Notepad;
3) Type in the following lines:
# Use WinTab
UseSystemStylus 0
4) Save the file as a plain text file named PSUserConfig.txt, and save it into the Photoshop settings folder: C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2018\Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 Settings\5) Restart Photoshop and test the brush, it should now recognise the pressure without Windows Ink enabled.
Hope that will help with the Lasso problem too.
Good luck!

Is there any upside to using windows ink? so far I've found nothing good about it and it breaks so many programs.
Thank you for this!

So it's not just me. Also to test we've turned off hoverclick and double click settings and messed with the click distance etc. It's super random but would occur between 1 and 8 clicks like clockwork.
