P: I have no text cursor/highlight, no bounding boxes, or selection edges working on CMYK documents

I just updated photoshop to 2019 20.0 and now the text tool is misbehaving. I see no cursor and I can't select tpe. There is just nothing. I obviously disabled the stupid lorum ipsum nonsense, so when I click with the text tool, there is absolutely no indicatation that anything is happening. My coworker has the same problem and reset his preferences which fixed nothing.
Running Sierra 10.12.6

Is this a permanent fix? And do we need to recheck that box at some point?

All of a sudden today my free transform bounding box disappeared. I've read through a bunch of this and none of the suggestion work. Even when I place something the transform bounding box doesn't appear (attached screenshot). Please help!

It has worked for me as well but over the weekend it reverted. I did it again and it’s fine. Weird

I was opening a cmyk document and opening a new RGB document fixed the problem.
