In PS 2015.5 I can't adjust the size of paragraph text bounding boxes ...anyone else running into the same issues?

Figured out that text area size could be changed if you drag it outside the artboard.

Me too. It is really a show stopper. I have an updated Mac and see the cursor change. A few times it works, mostly on text made in the previous version. Please fix it ASAP. Its is very difficult to make web and app design

Me too. Mac, El Capitan 10.11.5. Bounding box resizing worked fine yesterday before I updated to 2015.5.

I will have to revert to previous version while you fix this.

Again, sorry you couldn't see my cursor (Giphy). When I select the bounding box, the double arrow cursor is activated and the anchor points of the bounding box appear. Once I click on one of the anchor points, the cursor disappears and unselects the bounding box. Strange.

I've tried disabling all my plugins, font management and anything else that might be related...no dice.

Interesting. So do you see the cursor change when you go to drag a corner or side of the bounding box? What does your cursor look like when you go through these steps? 

Also, could you share your system info? 

Thanks,

Thanks for responding so quickly Catherine! I made a quick video...but, it's hard to see my cursor.

I'm using the text tool and selecting the bounding box...but, when I go to drag a corner or side of the bounding box (as I was able to just yesterday before the 2015.5 upgrade), it just deselects the text bounding box.
