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

I'm running CS5 version 12.0.4 on a 2011 MacBook Air and the brushes do not work when resized between approx 300 - 650 in size. I don't know if this is a bug but the issue occurs in Lightroom as well. Please advise when an update will be issued to fix this. The software is pretty much useless to me with this issue affecting it.

Please let Apple know that your system configuration still has problems with the graphics drivers.

Apple fixed most of the issues in 10.7.3, and we've been working on ways to work around the Apple driver issues.

Yes, this was 100% Apple's bug (and still is on some systems).

I just downloaded the CS6 Beta and, interestingly enough, all of my brush issues are fixed. Everything seems to work perfectly, although CS5 still has brush issues and other little quirks, such as the liquify tool preview not working. It's interesting because this whole time the Adobe reps seemed to have been telling us to point the finger at Apple, yet obviously there was a software level workaround or fix implemented for CS6.

Either way...if you want to get rid of your issues, get the CS6 Beta!

btw...i'm running OS X 10.7.3

Apple does not appear to have fixed all of the driver problems in 10.7.3.

Please let Apple know about the remaining problems, and which specific hardware still has problems.
