Just started using Adobe Illustrator 2023 v27. When I am selecting a different tool the icon at the pointer doesn't change witht he tool. So I can be trying to cut but the hand icon is shown instead of the normal crosshairs. The tool still works but it's hard to tell if I've switched tools properly and the hand icon is big and covering the area I am trying to cut. I do use some plug in tools but it seems to be affectiving everything.

Can this be fixed? Is this a bug?

I'm on MacOS Monterey v12.6. I use Astute Graphics plug ins - tools like Inkscribe but it also won't switch over to the basic black selection tool.

Did you update the Astute Graphics tools?

There has been an important upgrade shortly before MAX.

Did you reset the preferences when updating Illustrator?
