The problem I am having is in Photoshop 12.0.4.
I had set my cursor to show brush size but whenever I click and drag using a brush (any type of brush) the cursor changes to a standard Macintosh arrow cursor for the duration of the drag, then reverts to the brush size cursor only when I stop dragging.
This makes it very difficult to see where I am painting.
This only occurs on my MacBookPro… my iMac performs exactly as I would expect it to.
I have quit Photoshop and deleted all my settings and preferences files but it doesn't make any difference.
I have tried different combinations of cursor settings with no success.
I have an external monitor connected to my MBP but it doesn't matter which screen my PS window is on.
And, before anybody suggests it, it isn't a caps lock issue.

I seem to have fixed this problem - though I don't know how!
I restarted my MacBookPro and zapped the PRAM (cmd-opt-P-R at startup) and repaired disk permissions.
I wouldn't have expected any of this to make any difference but one of them did... my PS cursors work fine now.
Happy days!

Always nice to find the solution, even better when you find it yourself. Thanks for sharing the solution too!
