Since updating to 9.0.2, I’ve noticed the same thing that happened when I had updated to 9.0.1, back in May:
When painting with the brush, when I toggle to the eyedropper tool (using the Option key) the cursor does not always immediately turn into the crosshairs, but remains as the brush cursor (I have my preferences set to display the Normal Brush Tip and the eyedropper as Precise). The tool is actually acting as the eyedropper, but the cursor display does not immediately change. It does change after a second or two, though. This did not happen with PS CS2 9.0 on the same machine, same set-up.
I have tried resetting just the eyedropper tool, as well as the brush tool, as well as trashing prefs, to no avail.
I have tried it with both the DiasbleVMBuffering plugin installed and not installed, and it doesn’t change the behavior.
It’s better than it was with the 9.0.1 update because some of the time it works properly (the 9.0.1 update problem was bad enough for my kind of work to force me to go back to 9.0), but it’s still very difficult to paint in a fluid way when toggling from the brush tool doesn’t give me the precise selection cursor for selecting colors.
Also, the cursor soemtimes remains the brush cursor when I go to the color palette to choose colors there or move the sliders. After a second or two it changes to the correct cursor.
Particulars: 2 GHz G5, 6 GB RAM, OS 10.4.6, dual monitor set-up, Intuos 3 Wacom.
