P: Can't see brush circle when I go into Select and Mask

I updated Photoshop Beta today. I'm not sure if it's a Beta update issue because it was working fine the whole day until like an hour ago. Suddenly, when I go into Select and Mask, I'm not able to see the brush circle. I only see my mouse. 

The quick selection tool, refine edge brush tool, the brush tool all work when I click the mouse. I just don't see any circle around my mouse. I tried hitting the Caps Lock key, turned Photoshop on and off, turned my computer on and off, resetted all preferences, but the issue still remains. 

Am I the only one having this issue?

25.0 still does not have a brush tool for "select and mask".  The pointer works, but it's not nearly as accurate or as user-friendly. It worked great in 24.6 and hasn't worked since. I don't understand why that issue wasn't fixed with the 25.0 update.

I had gone back to version 24.6, but as of yesterday, the generative fill gives me an error message 400 Bad Request.

That leaves me with version 24.7 or 25 and they still haven't fixed the lack of a brush tool for select and mask. What a shame that they did an update and didn't fix it.    24.6 was fine until a few days ago. How do you have an update and not fix what is clearly an issue?  They know about it and still didn't fix it. After spending an hour and a half on the phone today with Adobe, much of it on hold waiting, I find out that version 25.0 is having issues. Version 24.6 was great.  Why did they mess it up with the 400 Bad Request error? UGH!!!!

I've been using PS Beta v24.6 to avoid this issue until now. Suddenly, generative fill stopped working on Photoshop starting from yesterday. I kept getting an error.

So, I see that there is a v25. I update it and generative fill works, but the brush circle issue is still not fixed! 😞 I don't see the brush circle when I go into Select and Mask.

Interesting. I tried toggling capslock early on and it does not change anything for me.
