I must have fat fingered something and I now when I click on the Eraser Tool or the Brush Mask Tool instead of getting a circle or square, I get and icon of the tool instead. They still work but they're harder to use without seeing the circle or square depending on what's selected. I've been using Corel for many years and never had this happen and I can't figure out how to switch back.
Go into Tools>Options and under General check the box beside "Shape cursor for brush tools." That should do it.

Thanks a lot, this was driving me crazy!
