Photoshop CC 2017

Hi guys, I currently have an issue with the Pencil brush. Unlike other brushes, the pencil brush doesn't increase its size on Photoshop CC 2017. Every time I try to increase the size it keeps getting smaller to the point where it's almost invisible. Does anyone know a solution to fix this, please?

Thanks.

How are you increasing the pencil's brush size?

Tapping ] on the keyboard?
By dragging the mouse?
Control + Option (Mac) – drag right in order to increase brush size. Or on Windows, Alt+Right Mouse and drag right to increase brush size.
By typing/dragging in the Brush preset picker?

And of course, Caps Lock shouldn't be on because it changes the brush cursor from a circle representing its size to the precision cursor (cross hairs)

I've tried all of your solutions but it still isn't working. Thanks for helping though!

This is new to me, and maybe a new bug in 2017, or not. When you draw, does the pencil line stay skinny, no matter what?
