Cursor turns into a small circle with four pointers in Illustrator

[georgea34806814]

For the past week my arrow pointers at times, when over tool bar or the File, Edit etc. bar turn into a small circle with four pointers, a bit like a target. Any ideas why?

What version of Illustrator and what operating system are you using? Have you recently updated your operating system?

Is Caps Lock on?

Hi George,

Sorry to hear about this. I would request if you can share a few screenshots, along with the details asked by Monika and Bill.

Regards,

It sounds like an eyedropper sampler target. Is it only showing up when you are over the toolbar and over the file menu?
