Issues with Photoshop brush — PLEASE HELP!

[mackatee13]

I need help with my brush settings! PLEASE! 

I have been running PS 2020 for a while now and have had no issues — but when I updated to PS 2023
I cannot get the brush tool to behave in the same way!

The problem when I use PS 2023 is that the brush doesn't completely fill in with the color — there is a ring around it that is still unfilled.
BUT! In PS 2020 the brush color fills the circle all the way to the edge of the brush outline (the full dimensions aka: 250px).

I am not using a tablet — just a mouse — so it isn't "pen pressure" or something like that.

WTH is going on here? There is a setting somewhere but I can't find it! I have opened both versions side-by-side and checked all the brush settings but they are set exactly the same, so it must be some other setting menu that I can't find. 

I am on an iMac.

Hi @mackatee13 go to preferences(settings)/Cursors and set your brush size to Full Size Brush Tip.

Excellent! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! 😄

(Actually it turns out that I was trying to get to the "Normal" brush tip. Old habits die hard.)

And ignore me because @Kevin Stohlmeyer knows far more than I do and was quicker answering while I was pootling around the forum!

I don't have a Mac but searching this forum I found two posts that may offer help: 
#1.  https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/eraser-tool-doesn-t-fill-cursor-shape...

#2. https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/brush-tool-cursor-size/td-p/9337046

From what I understand it's something to do with Accessibilty settings on a Mac.
