Short description of error
[Please fill out a short description of the error here]

On MacBook Air when using proportional edit to move vertices, the circle to indicate the size of the edit does not appear. However, proportional edit is still adjustable by scrolling up and down on trackpad.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
[Please describe the exact steps needed to reproduce the issue]
I don't know exactly as it happened one day when I opened this file. The circle still appears when I create new project. Last things I did on the file before noticing the problem was rendering it and then create a new mesh called "sprinkle" a few days later.

[Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible)]

From what I can tell, the issue seems to branch from the fact you've set all operations to occur around the 3D cursor and as a result, the proportional editing circle appears around the 3D cursor. To fi x this, change the "pivot point" back to something like "median point".

@Kevin (Sadlama) : please try what @Alaska (Alaska) suggested.

This might have room for improvement, but it is intentional in its current behavior.
It has also been reported before, see T75482: Wrong proportional editing area of influence UI. but was closed.
Afraid we have to close this too, will merge into T75482.
(feel free to comment again though if this has different roots after all)
