Bug info:
I've found a Blender 2.8 manual typo in the chapter: Sculpting & Painting » Brush » Stroke » Curve Add Points.

Original text:
Add Points Ctrl-LMB
You can define additional curve control points by using Ctrl-LMB. The handles can define by dragging the mouse before releasing the mouse button.

Current state:
The key Ctrl-LMB is not adding points to the curve. It's the "Ctrl-RMB" key.

So either the manual is wrong or Blenders current application shortcut.
