Mouse Flickering While I paint

[Travis G.W.]

While Using my paint brush it will ocasionally turn into the default mause cursor getting ride of my brush while i paint. At the time of posting i have reset preferences: a complete reinstall of photoshop to the latest version, Reset preferences in photoshop, Graphic drivers are up to date, tablet drivers are up to date. Ive also closed multiple background software to see if anything was the culprit there. It seems to only be an issue in Photoshop and not in any other software that I own.

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about this. Which version of Photoshop and the operating system are you working on?

Could you please try deselecting "Use Graphics Processor" located in Photoshop's Preferences > Performance, then relaunch Photoshop and let us know if it helps?

Regards,
Sahil

Hello,

The version of Photoshop I'm working with is v 21.2.3. My OS is Windows 10. I am using a Wacom Cintiq 16. 

The list of Fixs I have found from similar issues include the fallowing; reinstalled my wacom drivers, use graphics processor, reset preferences through ctrl+k, reinstalled graphics drivers. It does happen no mater what monitor I have photoshop open it hapens. I also have tried closing background software one by one to see if anything of the sort could cause interference. 

The only form of sucsess if you will was reseting my preferences, but when increasing my brush size to large sizes due to working on large canvases for my work it reapears. This does become an issue when i have a particular layut of my workspace a well as custom keyboard shortcuts. I have made backups for those important settings if i have to reset again, but obviously that isnt a great work around with my workspace.
