Question

Blurry and fuzzy cursor when using it on the art boards in illustrator

Hello, for some time now I have bean dealing with a blurry and fuzzy cursor when trying to create art. I'm using a 2016 MacBook Pro and have current system software. So, before Illustrator offered the preference of being able to enlarge one's cursor, I downloaded some 3rd party software to make my cursor bigger which was a great help. Now the most recent versions of Illustrator that allow one to adjust cursor size in preferences appear to be incompatible with this old software "patch" and my cursor has been consistently blurry. I just tried reinstalling Illustrator and got rid of all my preferences and it still happens. Any clues anybody? Thanks for listening!

Hello margomld,

 

Sorry to hear about this experience. I would request you try the steps shared in this help article (https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/mac-help/mchl5bb12e1e/mac) to reset any pointer accessibility settings that might be turned on and relaunch Illustrator to check if it helps.

 

Looking forward to your response.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav

Thanks so much Anubhav,

I tried to reset the ponter and was still having problems. I tried a bunch of other things and then thought paerhaps it was my Wacom Tablet doing some thing weird. So I just reloaded the current Wacom driver and then reinstalled Illustrator and it is working!!! I really appreciated your help and also learned something new from you! Have a good weekend!

Are you sure you uninstalled all the remainders from that 3rd party software?

I actually am not sure since I don't remember the name of it. ugh. I do
have an old version of Illustrator still installed if you think that might
be the issue? Thanks so much for your help!

An old version of Illustrator does not cause that.
