Mouse Cursor Icon won't change accordingly to Tool set.

Hey forum,

Searched high and low for a solution for this - seems like Mac people had this problem but nothing in stone fixed.


After using Premiere for a few minutes the mouse cursor will "stick" to a cursor.
For example between switching the Arrow, Razor and Move tools the mouse cursor won't change.
Image below shows what I mean, since it should be showing the razor instead of the default mouse icon.

One thing that instantly fixes it for a minute is switching between workspaces - though it comes back very shortly.
It's not a program crashing bug, but extremely infuriating since I keep messing up edits since I don't know what tool I'm using.

What I've tried:
-Resetting cache and prefs while booting Premiere.
-Uninstalling and Reinstalling using the Adobe Uninstaller tool
-Create new workspaces
-Create new keyboard preferences
-Disable Import Workspaces

Using:
-Windows 10 64 Bit
-Premiere Pro CC 12.1 Kentos

All the best.

    Update 2:

    Found 2 temporary fixes.

    1) Disconnect one of my extra monitors. This is counter intuitive though since I use it for editing.
    2) Right clicking on the timeline (only with the newest up date) fixes the cursor temporarily.

    I assume it's some sort of display issue, updated all display drivers and etc.

        Still a bug in 2021. Unacceptable.

          This is completely unacceptable! so many bugs and this one is the worst. It makes it almost impossible to know where to place your tool for fine tuning. It also puts multiple little icons in my dock for each file I have open. 😞

            Just put your cursor to the timeline and press v, it'll put your default cursor.

              Bumping that the problem still persists, even after updating to CC 13.00 and a complete clean wipe.

              Try updating once more. Still doesn't work? Can you file a bug? Premiere Pro: Hot (3092 ideas) – Adobe video & audio apps

              Hey Kevin,

              Updated to the patch that just rolled out when you replied, whatever it was it worked!

              Thank you greatly, it was driving me insane.

              On my system the cursor does not change to reflect the tool selection until you are hovering above a clip on the timeline.

                To add above, mine does not change at all. Including the timeline.
