Having some trouble with the eraser cursor…. When it circle’s size is small, it the whole outline shows up. But as I zoom in, or expand the cursor size part of it disappears and gets to the point where only about 25% of it is left visible.
Anyone else having this problem? Or have a solution?

Thank you!

I believe this is a common problem with some Nvidia chipsets and drivers. If you are using an Nvidia Graphics card, try updating the drivers to the newest. You can also try going to Edit, Preferences, Performance and enable OpenGL Drawing. If the problem persists, you can also try downgrading the drivers. I have not heard of a specific "cure-all" way to solve this problem, but it never hurts to give the possible solutions a try. I've had the same problem with one of my laptops. :)

I had the same issue wit ALL brushes and read about a fix somewhere on the web FOR PCs (not mac). Maybe on here.

Before you go and install drivers, etc. (if you haven't already), minimize all programs and right click on your desktop. Select Properties from the menu. Select the Settings tab at top. Click on the Advanced button near the bottom. Adjust your hardware acceleration down one notch. Click apply.

Test your curser in PS. Still have issues? Drop it down one more. The person that posted this fix had to go two notches. I only had to move one.

Hope it helps.

PS.
Updating drivers are a good idea in any case. Unless, of course, the new driver causes issues. Which has been known to happen to the best of video cards.
