photoshop CC 2019 is not showing source of clone when repositioning over area to be cloned

Historically, when choosing a source to clone using the clone stamp tool (option click), a ghost image of that source follows me to the destination point I wish to retouch. This is especially helpful when I need to line up horizontal or vertical lines. Suddenly, I can no longer see the ghost image of the source. I've restarted my computer as well as Photoshop but I'm still experiencing the problem.

I am running Photoshop CC 20.0.3 on MacBook Pro OS High Sierra 10.13.6

Is the Cap lock turned on? If so, turn it off.

if this is not the case, reset photoshop preferences settings under : preferences -> General: reset preferences on quit

then Restart photoshop
