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.

Excellent. Thanks for the update/confirmation.

Fixed it! There's still a slight blip for me at a certain brush size when cursoring through with [ and ], but it's for a split second and it auto-corrects itself quickly. Photoshop is usable again!

Apple has released an update for OS X (Lion). Please update OS X to 10.7.3. (Apple menu>Software Update...) It should fix this issue. Let us know if you are still having any issues.

Just updated to 10.7.3 via software update and the adjustment brush in lightroom 3.6 is now working perfectly on my MBP 13" 😄

Hi Martin- The latest developer version is 11d42. I'm running 11d24 and as mentioned, the brush position issue is solved in that one. Email me chardine(at)nbnet.nb.ca and we can talk more about where you get the developer version. I installed it with no problems and lost nothing from 10.7.2.

As already noted - we're all waiting on Apple to fix the driver bugs.

I am having the offset cursor and am missing the properly sized brush cursor with any brush over a certain "medium size ~ 350px on paint, 800 px or larger on other tools. Liquify can go to 1200px. This makes it impossible to hit the tool bar and of course my painting is very inaccurate.

Healing brush also leaves dark spot until I click again.

Tried everything mentioned above with no solution.

This has been ongoing for six months and is unacceptable. Except I am stuck with it.

YES on CS5 I have the same issues, but not on my other Macs. Leaves dark spot even though processing is finished until a do another click. And brush sizes seem funky.
