Adobe CC Photoshop version 26.0.0 Quick Selection Tool showing as a cross not a circle with a + or -

Question

I'm running Photoshop CC version 26.0.0 on a Mac Studio running Sonoma 14.6.1.
The Quick Selection Tool is displaying as a cross rather than as a 'brush' circle with a plus or minus sign in it. It means I can't see how big my brush is when trying to select an area of the image. It only shows as a circle when using the square brackets to change its size but not when you move your mouse or try to select anything. Is this something I can get back with a setting adjustment somewhere?

@Kath Polley  One more thing to try:Apple menu > System Settings > Accessibility tab > Pointer group > Display > Set the display to Normal Jane  Thanks Jane - those were the settings in place.  It seems I just needed to TIOATIOA to reset everythign after my last CC update.  All done now.  Thanks for your help.  Kath

Did you try restarting your Mac?

There are a couple of other possible causes, one being having your Caps Lock on, which in your case it's probably not if your typing this post from the same Mac.

The other is under Photoshop 25>Settings>Cursors and having the Painting Cursors and/or Other Cursors set to Precise.
