Focus merge - at a certain pointthe size of the brush does not show

[Jaffa]

One of our local group of learners is using the focus merge function regularly at the moment.  After several uses the functionality changes.

In the beginning after adding several photos and getting the Focus merged image - then clicking on the clicking toggle source image "eye icon" the cursor changes to a brush circle and he can paint on the image in the selected clarity.

At some point several operations on, the brush icon does not materialize. Instead a cross hair icon appears.  In the background the brush function could still be functioning, but you cannot see the proportions of the brush.

In the brush width box. the tool bar shows the max brush size available, but you cannot reduce it to have any effect.

 

Is this a glitch in the software or has he bumped a switch somewhere.

The Caps-Lock key now activates/toggles the Cross Hair for brushes, maybe he is hitting that
