Somehow I have lost the ability to see what a tool is doing on the page until after it has already done it. For example, I used to be able to see where the pen tool was going to trace next, but I have lost this outline ability.
Same thing when I use the rubber stamp tool – I don’t see the circle which is the size of my brush when I hit alt and try to sample an area.

I am sure it is something simple I have accidentally changed in the settings, but I cannot figure it out. Hopefully I am explaining myself clearly enough.
