weird Masking/Painting problem

I’m having a problem that keeps coming up every now and then, i thought it was just some bug in the program but i keep having it with the same save file.
This is an example of the problem, i paint it with RGB or try to mask it using either the pen/freehand stroke or dots, anything except for the ‘drag’ options and it does this (With both pen tablet or mouse)
it leaves these weird marks so it’s impossible to mask anything properly or colour anything solidly

note that it does this for all objects in the scene regardless of materials but in different save files it does not

Can anyone help with this i’ve looked for ages and not found what could be doing
Thanks
