Cursor flickering (Elements 15) on MAC

All of a sudden the mouse cursor is FLICKERING when I go to use the tools (eg. Spot Healing Brush, Crop tool). I have not upgraded or made any changes to my computer's operating system or the PE program. I have close and opened the PE program numerous times but it has not helped. How can I stop the flickering cursor?

    Try resetting the Preferences:

    Restore default preferences

    Preference settings control how Photoshop Elements Editor displays images, cursors, and transparencies, saves files, uses plug‑ins and scratch disks, and so on. If the application exhibits unexpected behavior, the preferences file could be damaged. You can restore all preferences to their defaults.

    Note: Deleting the preferences file is an action that cannot be undone.

    Do one of the following:

    • Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Mac: Option+Command+Shift) immediately after Photoshop Elements begins launching. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file.
    • Go to Edit > Preferences (Mac: Photoshop Elements > Preferences > General), click the Reset Preferences on next launch button, and then click OK. When you restart Adobe Photoshop Elements, all preferences are reset to default settings.

    A new preferences file is created the next time you start Photoshop Elements Editor. For information on a specific preference option, search for the preference name in Help.
