Mouse Cursor changes sizes across monitors

Strange happenings on a MacPro (late 2013) running Catalina 10.15.7. The cursor is very large on one of the two apple 27" monitors and the correct size on the other. Cursor size is set to normal in the Accessibility menu. It seemed to start when I opened a fairly memory intensive file in Illustrator, but I cannot confirm that. It is entirely possible that I have accidentally typed some keyboard shortcut, but I cannot confirm that either. I have reset the PRAM (CMD, OPT, P, R on startup) and reset Illustrator (CMD, OPT, CNTRL, SHFT) back to factory settings

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Both monitors are set to the same resolution, right?

What if you exchange what port the monitors are plugged into? Does it follow the monitor? Or the port?

Try booting to Safe Mode. That boot up takes minutes and clears caches and other things that may resolve your problem.

Is the cursor the right size in both monitors when in Safe Mode?

A lot of times just boot to Safe Mode followed by normal boot resolves problems.
