Could anybody tell me why the ‘brush’ cursor changes preferences while I’m working on a project, without ME changing them? It’s very frustrating … cause I like it set a certain way and it changes to another way on me by itself. Grrrrr!!

Thanks,
Dee

Because you keep hitting Caps Lock by mistake.

You are pressing the CAPS LOCK key, which toggles between cursor modes.
