My mouse cursor is now enlarged, and the only way to turn that back to the original small size would be to turn off AssistiveTouch, however, doing so will cause other issues with your mouse settings. I can no longer use my other mouse button other than scroll, unless I turn back on AssistiveTouch. Anybody have a work around?

Assistive touch ( although it has far more controls), always has made the mouse cursor unbearably large for me, and also right click doesn’t work as well as the implementation with the standard mouse. I wish they wold just make one mouse setting with all of the options available. Assistive touch also hampers mouse usage with jump desktop. Shame because hot corners is ace.

I just noticed this myself - was there a change recently? As soon as I turned on AssistiveTouch the pointer enlarged to an extent I don't recall. It made me go in and check to see if my sizing setting had changed. I don't recall it being this large - I believe the behavior has changed.

I gave a Feedback to Apple and hope this is addressed in the near future.

A workaround - under AssistiveTouch, turn off "Perform Gesture Touch" and the cursor is small again. Not clear that there's any downside to turning that off.
