BUG - pen tool crash
Weird bug where when using the pen tool, if the footage panel is open, passing over it freezes then crashes AE. Submitted the crash report and posting here in hopes it can be duplicated and fixed.
This bug has been fixed in the November 2020 update for After Effects, version 17.5.1. You can install the update via the Creative Cloud desktop app.

Got this message after a crash, but am Not using a pen. AE just crashed as I selected the mask tool and clicking on the screen.

Every time I want to use the rectangle tool, After Effects Auto-Saves and crashes.
This also happens when using the shortcut Q.
(I'm using AE 17.5.0 on macOS Catalina 10.15.7)
