Eraser Preferences Gone in Flash CC

For the amount of time I've had Flash on my computer I've never been able to change the size of my eraser. Changing the size of the brush tool never helped either. I'm unsure about how to find my preferences for my eraser, even after playing around with settings to see what works. Here's a screenshot of what I see:

Your screen isn't tall enough to show the erase shape option button. Grab the division between Properties and the Tools, and drag left to give the tools more space. It will become two or more columns, and you should easily find the Shape button.

    This is the worst kind of solution. Are you telling us that the screen of my laptop is not able to display such a common feature properly. I am unable to find it and this is just ridiculous. Please tell me the keyboard shortcut for eraser in mac

    The key to select the eraser is e. But then the eraser tool is only the 11th one in a single column Tools palette, you're unlikely to have such a small screen that you only see the top 10 tools.

    Getting at the eraser size option isn't that needed too often, because you can erase more or less content by zooming in or out. But there are other tools that have useful options near the bottom. Living with two columns or two rows of tools isn't that much of a hardship, if it then gives you easy access to the tool options.

        I'm having the same issue & this solution is not fixing it. I've provided enough space however the eraser size is not showing up. Is there an update to this issue?

        Are your tools in two columns or only one? Can you show a screenshot?
