hello,

ever since I bought an iMac M1 I have a very annoying bug that BetterTouchTool creates with the Adobe Photoshop programme (both always updated to the latest version).  
If I reset the mac, with bettertouchtool always in the background, as soon as I open photoshop everything works normally but after a while, when I reopen it my photoshop stuck on hand tool and I can't use any other tool (and I need to restart my mac to make it works again).

If I close BetterTouchTool this bug never occurs, even for days on end, but as soon as I reopen it after a while it reappears. So I'm sure it's a bug related to the coexistence of these two programs (on iMac with M1 processor), I hope there's a solution because constantly restarting the Mac to fix the problem is very annoying.

Thanks to those who want to help me,  
Mario

I will add one more detail: the bug does not occur when I do not use any shortcuts involving the ‘space’ key on the keyboard, even though I have explicitly deactivated BTT when using Photoshop
