lm_freehand in 11.2 - DrawToolSizeCircle method error

This should have been posted in the bug forum, but I'm not sure if the officials even read that forum anymore.
Just installed 11.2 and performed an update (11.2.1_18868). First, I was a little surprised that the purchase version is not the most current one. Second, I was surprised that the lm_freehand tool does nothing but throws a lua error (before and after the update):

Windows 7, 64 bit, the error is thrown in both 64 and 32 version. Is it just me or that's something that everybody should be aware of? I tried to search the forum, but no results were found. If you search for "DrawToolSizeCircle" you get a message that
"The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: drawtoolsizecircle"

First I've heard of this problem. Have you tried altering the freehand tool's options before using it? Could be that some tool preference just hasn't been initialized. Just a guess.

Hmn, if I disable the Auto-Stroke option, then the error is not thrown. However, if I enable it again, the error comes back.

Okay, I figured out a way to duplicate the problem. If you have a file named lm_utilities in your custom content folder>scripts>utility location, it is overriding the default LM utilities. This is why people should never use the LM prefix. You probably have an older utility file that does not contain the function the freehand tool is looking for.

Removing that file fixed the problem. Thank you Wes!

I'm glad that worked.
