Clone Stamp BUG - (isn't showing preview)

Hi, 

I had lots of issue since installing the latest vs of Photoshop ( 22.1.1 ).

The clone stamp in particular it's really annoying as it isn't showing the preview of what i'm cloning even if :

- Show Overlay is ON

- Clipping is ON

- Opacity is 100% 

- Mode is set to Normal

- Sample is Current and Below.

 

Any idea how to solve it? 

Thanks in advance.

Correct answer c.pfaffenbichler

Could you please post a screenshot taken at View > 100% with the pertinent Panels (Layers, Channels, Options Bar, Clone Source, …) visible and a Source picked up? 

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Graphic Processor Settings) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue? 
What have you done for trouble-shooting so far? 
Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:

Hi, thanks for you answer.

I can't turn on/off Graphic processor as that option isn't available (prob cause i'm using as a remote machine at the moment) but in older version of photoshop wasn't an issue.

 

here's a screengrab attached, hope it helps.

I'll look into restoring preference, just want to make sure I won't lose all my actions and other things I customize first...
