I'm guessing through the magic of an accidental key combo, I've turned off the secondary cursor. In case what I'm referring to isn't clear, when you're cloning an area, you'll get two cursors, your clone stamp cursor of the area you're working on, and an cross hairs cursor which shows you the area you're currently cloning from.
A quick check of the prefs didn't reveal anything obvious, and a quick google search was equally arcane.
Anyone?

If this is like previous fun I've had with missing brush sizes in older versions of Photoshop, trashing the preferences/restart was the cure. Did you try that?

It's not restart. Not keen on trashing prefs and resetting everything up.

Aren't there separate cursor options within the preferences? Maybe the dynamic cursor options have been turned off.

Seems to me, under other cursors, that you might have it set to precision instead of standard.

No, that deals with how the cursor is shown. Not the fact that it was missing it completely.

NM then, I was confused but now I know what you are talking about. During cloning (or healing brush) you have the tool that you are using to 'paint' and the cursor that shopws you where you are sampling from, right?

Correct. Like I said, it mysteriously started working again.

CAPS LOCK? Doesn't that sometimes make cursors disappear and reappear?

That sounds familiar, but that's not the case for either of them in CS4 (Just checked).

Hmmm... I must be doing something. It happened again. I saved the file, closed it, reopened it, problem solved.
