Spot removal in LRC 11.4 not showing the source point

I'm running LRC 11.4 on a M1 Mac under Monterey 12.4. Using the spot removal tool on a JPEG or NEF images no longer shows the source point and is therefore unusable. I'm also having great trouble with local (brush) adjustments (say brightness) now that such corrections are apparently integrated with masking. Is there a definitive guide on how this now works?

Press keyboard [H] to check if the overlay guide is visible.

And how is the 'Tool Overlay' set on the Tool Bar?

The Brush Tool still works as it always has, but is now included in the 'Masking' group of tools.

And many forum reports illustrate a problem when the Brush appears to be having a Global adjustment on the image.

Rob, thank you. Changing the tool overlay setting to Always restored the spot removal source point. My problem with the local brush adjustments is the same as that others have described in the links you provided, global changes instead of local when an adjustment is made. No doubt a fix will be forthcoming. Thanks. Andrew
