Description

Is there an existing issue for this?
  • I checked and did not find my issue in the already reported ones
Describe the bug

I have an issue with custom drawn masks in 5.4.0 on M2 Mac
at some point mask bugs out and no longer shows me handles, I can back off one step using ctrl+z, but when I try to adjust mask again after that it bugs out again, at one point I had to so severe that one mask caused all my existing and new masks bug out the same way

Steps to reproduce

Not sure really, I just draw custom mask, adjust feathering to near 0 and it bugs out randomly
Im using about 20-30 points at max, but it happened even on very simple masks around 10 points

Expected behavior

No response

Logfile | Screenshot | Screencast

on a screenshot I have enabled "editing" mode for mask + showing mask area, you can see no handles and weird area shown

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the issue in a fresh edit with a custom mask, near-zero feathering, and 10–30 points on the reported macOS setup; done means mask handles remain visible and the mask area renders correctly after adjustment and undo.
