@fredwarren As luck would have it, just decoded the problem scenario. It’s an interlock with the EditBox mode.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Draw a mask
2. Enable edit box and make an adjustment
3. Click on an individual vertex, edit box UI disappears, but edit box mode remains enabled. You may not realize it’s still on, as the UI is no longer displayed.
4. Add global softness. It’s added, and you can adjust the control point. But the offset field is grayed out and inaccessible
5. Disable edit box mode, offset field becomes available

Should that be an enhancement request or a defect?

I assume there’s a reason engineers decided to disable offset in edit box mode, but not clear. Relates to what I just wrote here: [Today I learned… - #191 by allklier](https://forum.logik.tv/t/today-i-learned/5559/191)
