[Sapsanov_inc]

When working on canvas in Photoshop, the cursor stylus is not displayed correctly.

What are you talking about?

If it’s about the magenta line you can set Smoothing to 0%.

You can set the Smoothing to 0% (the third numeric entry field in the Options Bar).

Or do you mean that the cursor position is incorrect?

[Sapsanov_inc]

yes i mean that the cursor position is incorrect

[c.pfaffenbichler]

yes i mean that the cursor position is incorrect

Does this affect all Tools?

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Graphic Processor Settings) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

What have you done for trouble-shooting so far?

Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:

yes for all tools.

Your idea can't help.

Then I suspect the problem may be outside of Photoshop, some OS setting or a driver maybe.

Make sure your brush settings are set so the cursor catches up to the brush stroke. Also, you can turn off the magenta line.
