I just recently updated to Adobe Photoshop CC 2019, and my healing brush tools and clone stamp tool lags when I use it.  I had no prior issues with CC 2018.  What gives?

When I use the brush on my Wacom Cintiq 13HD I get the busy/spinning symbol. This makes it really hard to see my work, and is very distracting. I have latest Mojave update and latest Photoshop. 

I am not really IT fluent enough to use Terminal to get around this. 

Please can someone update on when this bug will be fixed?? Wondering whether to return my Wacom Cintiq as it's kind of unusable like this.

Going back to PS2018 worked best for solving Mac/mohave/wacom/clone stamp lag problem. Useless update so far...

Me too. Slow as a wet week. This seems to happen every second update. So much wasted time this year, Adobe!

For everyone struggling with the BRUSH too turning into a SPINNING WHEEL, I found a solution! DISABLE THE RULERS (I have MacOS Mojave and Photoshop CC 2019)

I noticed, that "load" cursor uses during I draw. It makes it difficult to see boundaries.

We'll update the tech doc if any changes are necessary: Pen pressure does not work and busy cursor displays while painting

Hey guys!

After I have updated my Photoshop to 20.0.1 my pen tool and brush tool started to lag a lot. I had no issues like this in the former 2018 CC PS. It is really annoying as I can not work with the new PS CC... have no 3rd party apps to PS only "rightfont" (font manager)

any idea? 😞

When Adobe finally resolves the issue, then what? Does the DEFAULTS edit need to be undone somehow? And if so, how?
