All of a sudden, when I select the erase tool, the cursor is just a pinpoint no matter how large of an erase area I select. I used to view the exact area that will be erased.

I checked to see if my settings may have inadvertently been changed and they do not appear to be:
Edit->Preferences->Display & Cursors->
Painting Cursors = brush size
Other Cursors = precise

Why is it doing this all of a sudden? It’s very aggravating because I can not do any precise erasing because I can’t see the area that will be effected.
