Cursor / Pointer suddenly tripled in size? How do I make it the normal size?

This morning, I opened a Coreldraw file in X8 and out of the blue, I noticed my cursor/pointer was huge.  I have made no changes, but regardless of the tool I select (Pick tool, shape tool, crop tool, etc.) the cursor or pointer is about 5 to 6 times it's normal size.  It's only when it's in the workspace though.  If I mouse over the tools on the left side or top to select a tool, it goes back to a normal size in those areas, but blows up EXTRA LARGE when I move it back on to the workspace.  I've restarted CorelDraw, rebooted WIndows, rebooted Parallels.  Nothing seems to help.  I've looked in Tools>Options and can't seem to find any sort of adjustment for cursor size.  I tried to changed the workspace to one of the stock workspaces and it didn't help.  I tried to change the "Size" in Tools>Options>Appearance to a smaller size, but it didn't affect the cursor/pointer size at all.  I'm not seeing any change in any other application, only when my cursor is in the CorelDraw workspace.  

Has anyone encountered this or would anyone have any ideas on how I might get the cursor/pointer back to it's normal size?

    Over the course of the last couple of days, I went through the cycle of shutting everything down including Coreldraw, Windows, Parallels and my Mac and rebooting from the bottom up, making sure no other software was running on that virtual machine. After a couple of times through, the issue seems to be resolved. It was one of those issues that seems like no big deal, but was so distracting that it was really difficult to be productive in any sort of design process.

    All that to say, if you're actually reading this post and have encountered the same issue, the only thing I can tell you is to shut everything down and restart each from the ground up AND if it doesn't work the first time or two, cycle through again and try a handful of times.
