P: brush cursors not working on 2011 Mac/MacBook Air (OS X 10.7.x Lion)

Testing this as soon as the final release shows up.

Where is the beta download? Does that mean an update is coming soon?

Great! Until then I've been using the external monitor fix, but it's certainly inconvenient. This will be nice.

Good news!

I'm having a problem with brushes in Lightroom on my early 2011 13 "macbook pro. When I activate the brush tool, the cursor doesn't change to the brush tool. When I start painting on a photograph, it doesn't aline with where I'm painting. It paints a little to the right and a little bellow where my cursor is. this is very annoying to say the least...

So when I'm using the Adjustment Brush, I've noticed a problem when adjusting the brush size using the scroll (either mouse or touchpad). It only happens from size 20-35. As I increase the size (using the scroll wheel or touchpad) once it reaches 20 the cursor starts moving to the upper left up until it reaches 35. Once it reaches 35 the cursor goes back to the original location it started at when I was adjusting the size of the brush. I never noticed this bug in any other version prior to this one. Additionally, it starts to get buggy when the brush size is between 20-35. Because the center of the cursor gradually moves toward the upper left, it offsets where the actual cursor is. For example if I click where I place the mouse pointer, it actually starts painting to the lower right. It doesn't do that while I am using any other type of editing brush/tool, when I resize it in the same fashion, it doesn't do the same thing. I don't have the same problem. I'm currently using OS X Lion 10.7.2 and Adobe Lightroom 3.5.

Interestingly enough, trying to grab a screen capture of the problem using Quicktime's built-in recording feature shows the brush painting in the correct position in the recording, although the actual brush painting on the file is still offset as described here.

2011MBP i5 2.3 - 8gb ram - PS CS 5.1 & LR 3.5

Using a i5 Mini with AMD Radeon HD 6630M - no cursor issues.

I am using Photoshop CS5 on a Mac OS X Lion on a MBP 13" i5 and i am experiencing issues. For some reason when i click the sponge tool photoshop starts to glitch and freeze, the mouse sort of "skips" around the screen and i can't click the toolbar on photoshop. When I use all the other tools it is fine but for some reason when i click the sponge tool it sort of "glitches". If any has any solutions please post! Thanks!

This is not lion specific it is MBP early 2011 specific - which basically means the video card itself. I have a mac pro running lion and I never bump into this issue like I do on my mbp. There's no way to remedy it once it happens. you have to start fresh with a new file. stupid.

For me, I have to connect a secondary monitor AFTER the booting of my MINI for it to make the bug disappear. If the monitor is connected during boot the Photoshop's brush is still broken even with two monitors connected.
