Question: Eraser Tool Problem: circles are only erasing 1/2 of the circle (CS6)

When I use the the eraser tool, only 1/2 of the circle is erased, the inner 1/2 circle of the circle   I've tried resetting the defaults, to no avail (that's presuming that I am resetting them properly)

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Click on your desktop, then go to Apple>Preferences>Accessibility>Display and verify the Cursor size is set to Normal.

I had this same problem. 

Edit - Preferences - Cursors Click the button by Full Size Brush Tip.

Yes I am using a Mac.

I tried to find the Systems Cursor to no avail.

I changed the cursor to Full Size Brush Tip and with Crosshair.

Still 1/2
