Community Beginner ,

For last few months whenever i try to paint in photoshop, brush automatically truns to mouse cursor while zooming(Z button) or Redo (Ctrl + Z) or paning (spacebar) as you can see it in attached file. Either i need to restart the photoshop or restart the file in order to work again. Its so frustruating

After digging alot in google, adobe community and reddit i found one guy who explained this bug is due to flick panning.
Edit -> Preference -> Tools -> uncheck "Enable flick panning"
After that bug never appeared
