Can't Paint on Layer Mask

[KCP]

As you can see from the attached video, when I try to paint on the existing layer mask, AF creates a new pixel layer and applies the paint there. I am trying to add black to my existing layer mask and can't do it now. Has a setting changed or is this an update bug? It's impossible to work like this

You cannot paint Pixels onto a Curve layer. So of course your assistant made a new pixel layer. You could rasterize the Curve layer used as a Mask and then you can paint on it. You could use the Select > Selection from Layer then make a Spare Channel, choose the other Curve and do the same then use those two Spare Channels to Load to Selection, and Add to Selection. Then hit the Mask Button. You could do a Boolean Add to the two Curve Layers and use that as a Mask. You could .... other things will be added by others.
