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.

    the selection "highlight" is not visible - I can hope that I'm selecting by double clicking or dragging the cursor and can make changes but I can't see what I'm selecting

    this has happened before - can't remember the fix - this time I removed the prefs.psp file but nothing changed

    Hi Hannah, is there still no actual fix or this? Just the wonky workaround.
    Photoshop has some very serious issues moths after release. Not OK.

    I'm using Photoshop V20.0.4 on an iMac with the latest version of Mojave. While working on a CMYK document, I was attempting to draw a selection with the Polygonal Lasso Tool. The outline does not appear as I'm drawing however, so it's impossible to know where your outline is. To "fix" I have to open an RGB document first, then switch back to the CMYK document in order to draw the outline. I know this was reported previously, possibly as far back at v20.0.0. I just wanted to confirm that it is *still* broken. As I'm working more and more with CMYK documents, I'd like to ask if there is any chance of a fix for this within the foreseeable future.

    Thank you.
