Brush for object selection disappears after latest update of Lightroom Classic

Brush for object selection disappears after latest update of Lightroom Classic.

In the masking tool when I reach for object selection, the brush/cursor disappears as soon as you move over the image in the selection mode with the brush. The box selection tool works. So you have no idea where your mouse is. It did this a few iterations ago and then was repaired.

This problem is something specific to your configuration, otherwise there would be a gazillion reports about it now. First, restart your computer. If the problem persists, try resetting LR's preferences:

LR sometimes soils its preferences file, and resetting it can fix all sorts of wonky behavior. That article explains how to restore the old preferences if resetting doesn't help.

Thanks very much for the suggestions. After restarting lightroom a few times it magically reappeared.

Glad it's working again. It's frustrating when problems are solved by restarting -- you suspect they may come back again :-<
