I just updated InDesign CC 2014 and now my mouse pointer appears huge in the InDesign interface. It appears normal size when hovering over toolbars though. I have attached two images to show what I am describing. The mouse pointer also appears normal size in other Photoshop, Illustrator and everywhere else in my PC, so I'm pretty sure the problem was caused by the update. The huge mouse pointer appears in all InDesign files, so I know it's not a file related issue. Any ideas on how to get it back to normal?
