Flickering Cursor
The cursor constantly flickers on my MacBook Pro 2017 with Touchbar.
Really annoying.

I am closing the ticket due to lack of response.

This is still an issue with the latest releases of Illustrator and Photoshop. We shouldn't have to close Photoshop to have the behavior disappear. See my screen capture today attached or on Box.com: https://nic.box.com/s/hemehrwzo9fm0ye3evst9ma41x908ipp

I habe the same problem: If there is one Document open in psd, the Cursor flickers in different other programs – it changes its form from the tool tu the norma cursor very quickly. This problem occurs ind indd, illustrator, Safari, mail eg. when i close all doks ind psd the problem is gone. BUT: I´m workin parallel with all programs, interactive, so i cant always close documents to erase this problem.
Please Adobe fix this problem – in my opinion the problem is bases partially to the tool settings in PSD!

Still happening after many years - brand new Mac Pro with lots of RAM and the latest install of Adobe CC.

Please fix this. I have upgraded to a brand new Mac Pro 2020 and the first software installed is Adobe CC... nothing else is on here and I have exactly the same problem that's been bugging me for years. If anything it's worse on this new kit. Do a bit of work in Photoshop then try to use Illustrator or InDesign and the cursor flickers (e.g. changing state from pointer to hand) making both programmes unusable. I shouldn't have to hide or close Photoshop whenever I need to work in Illustrator (or InDesign).

How much longer will we have to deal with this super annoying and distracting problem? My patience has tapped out after at least 2 years of dealing with it.

70% of the times I used to use Illustrator CC 2017 my cursor used to flicker extremely fast switching from the tool I have selected to the default black pointer. With CC 2018 looks like it's 100% of the times.
It's very annoying especially when I have to make accurate selections. -
