I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Photoshop forum.  If not Photoshop, please tell us which Adobe CS6 program.

CS6 Adobe Photoshop program

Try resetting the tools and/or preferences.
To restore preferences quickly using a keyboard shortcut:

Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings. The new preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop.
Note: Using the keyboard shortcut, preference files for custom shortcuts, workspaces, and color settings will also be reset to default.

Try adjusting the "spacing" slider in the brush panel

Whats the spacing glider?

[davescm]

Open the brush panel and you will see it (I no longer have CS6 installed here so can't show you a screenshot)

Of the flow/opacity/smoothing?

It is at the bottom of the brush settings. Photoshop's brush puts down a series of brush stamps. The spacing can be reduced so it looks like a single stroke or spaced out so that it looks like a series of individual stamps.

This screenshot is of the same brush with just the spacing changed - it is thecurrent version (22.1) but the spacing control is the same
