cursor changes to spinning ball

[Mark McQueen]

When using Photoshop CC (20.0.1) and a Wacom Intuos Pro, WHY do I constantly have this irritating issue: The brush cursor (doesn't matter which tool) almost immediately disappears and is replaced by a spinning ball (Adobe's version, a little circle of dots that appear to spin), making accurate strokes impossible. This is a HUGE problem, and it has only appeared within the last few weeks.

I have a 10-core iMac Pro with 64gb ram. Not only is my main drive an SSD (with plenty of space), but so are my two additional drives used as Scratch disks. I know you're going to blame the Wacom tablet, but isn't that almost a standard tool with Photoshop? I haven't found reference to this problem anywhere.

What OS are you running on your Mac?  and as Myra asked, have you updated your Wacom driver?

Exact same problem here with a Wacom Intuos Pro on a Mac (10.14.2) running photoshop.  Very frustrating.  I'm running the latest Wacom software.  The problem existed on the previous Wacom software version as well.  Any suggestions appreciated.
