I'm having this same issue. Can you please release a new version with this bug fixed?

Howdy Natalia,

This is a bug that slipped in during the last development cycle.  Unfortunately, it doesn't present itself to all users.  You can remove the bug by going through Pete's steps, found here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/enable-optional-extensions-photoshop-cc.html#Disable_Reduce_Use....  I would ask, however, for you to post a copy of your System Info (found under Help > System Info) here so we can figure out what precise cluster of settings and/or hardware create the bug in the first place.  Internally, we're having a devil of a time reproducing this.

Thanks,
David

Same issue with the text bounding box, every time I try to drag the corners or edges of the active box, the double sided arrow changes back to the text cursor to add a new text layer. I can only adjust the text from the side of the box closest to the text (i.e. if text is left + top aligned, I can adjust the box from the left and top of box only.) If the text exceeds the box size, I cannot click on the layer to adjust on workspace or in layers panel.

We are looking for a fix for this bug and are hoping to have it out soon.  Unfortunately, we've been having trouble reproducing it in-house.  If anyone would be willing to do a web-hosted screenshare, that could be really handy for us to see what's different about the machines encountering this problem.  All you need to is an Internet connection and phone line (to talk to me).  Just ping me and I'll set it all up.

Thanks,
David

This workaround fixed it for me. Thank you! (But this should really get fixed asap.)

This has happened to me too. I shouldn't have to be diving into config files to get basic functionality working. Wasted 20 minutes trying to find this fix. Do I get to send Adobe the bill for my time?

I just did the "Reduce user friction" from the comment above and it worked. I shouldn't be messing with config files after an update when i have looming deadlines.
