For at least a year and for no apparent reason the brush cursor vanishes randomly. I can still paint with the invisible cursor. There is no crosshair, no indication of the cursor at all, except that I can paint.
– No, this is not a capslock problem. If I hit caps lock I can see the crosshair. But if I turn off capslock, it disappears again.
If I toggle caps lock several times, the brush cursor *sometimes* reappears. Then if I move off the canvas it often immediately disappears again (randomly).
If I shake the mouse the Apple cursor appears and grows and then vanishes again. Once in a while it reappears randomly.
But if my cursor leaves the canvas or I click, it *often/usually* vanishes again. But not always. Really does seem like a bug. I always update my system and apps immediately. Everything is current. Only connected devices (BT keyboard/mouse) are Apple. One monitor.
It makes using Photoshop almost impossible. I lose so much time with his issue.

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Graphic Processor Settings) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?
What have you done for trouble-shooting so far?
Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:

Hi, No that has no effect.
Still, magnifying the area I'm working on can trigger the brush cursor to disappear.
I can still paint, but the brush outline is invisible, so i don't know where it is until I've started painting.
If I wiggle the mouse - *sometimes* it reappears. If I toggle CapsLock off and on many times, *sometimes* it reappears. It's hit and miss.
Also I giess i should add: this happens across machine. I experience this on every machine I have worked on for years. I would be really surprised if I was the only one for whom this is happening.
