Sculpt tools lock maya when switching out of the tool

[derricksesson2]

Hi,

When  I use the sculpt tools in maya 2018 they're great for the most part, except I keep getting this terrible bug where sometimes when I press 'q' to leave the tool, my whole maya freezes and will never recover. This is replicatable at home and at work. it happens around 2-5 times a day if I'm sculpting all day.

Has anyone else run into this and knows how to avoid it?

Hi @derricksesson2 

Thanks for posting! Have you been able to reproduce this regularly? I would love to see if I can narrow this down to specific steps 🙂 If I can achieve that, I will share it with our development team for further investigation.

Are you seeing this behavior with versions other than 2018? Are you on Windows or Mac? Have you installed the latest updates for Maya?

Thanks again for being a part of our community!
