Brush Cursor Circle Keeps Dissapearing.

Hi! Hoping someone can help me.

My brush and blob brush cursor circle keeps disappearing. I have the brush tool there, but not the accompanying circle around it. It's almost like the circle is there until I apply my first mark, and then it disappears. If I try to make my cursor bigger or smaller nothing happens. I can switch to precise via the caps lock key command, but no circle.

I'm running illustrator 22.1 on a late 2015 iMac running 10.14

Also, I have a Wacom Intuit 4 connected if that makes a difference?

Thanks!

John

IT's pretty usual that the circle disappears when you start drawing.

About the AIGPU Sniffer, that's because of Mojave.

Is it? I honestly remember it being there all the time before, but I could be wrong. Something just feels different. I know that, at least, the circle would appear when I changed the size of the brush via my wacom tablet slider. Also, when I use the eraser the circle is there. Thanks for the heads up about the Mojave issue.

Have you tried resetting your tools?

If not, Here is a link ... https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/setting-preferences.html

To restore preferences quickly using a keyboard shortcut.

Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (macOS) as you start Illustrator.

You are prompted to delete the current settings.

The new preferences files are created the next time you start Illustrator.

Thanks for the reply. I just tried that but it didn't work. it did, however, create something called "AIGPUSniffer" in my dock (i'm on a mac) when I opened Illustrator that way?

So I'm not sure what that is either. Odd.
