P: Photoshop 22:0: Text selecting/editing UI not displaying in CMYK, LAB modes

When I select the text or try to edit some text in a CMYK file it doesn't show anything showing whether or not I selected that text.

I can edit normally, but without this information it gets a little complicated to know what I'm selecting or not

When editing a text layer there is no visual feedback or edit control. No bounding box for the selected text. No cursor showing the edit point. No highlighting of selected text, either the full layer or a selection of part of the text in the layer.

The adjustments work fine, but there is no way to see what has been selected for editing.

Best thing to do is to uninstall the latest version and revert back to the previous version, as the "work arounds" have limitations such as poor graphic quality.

Just updated to CC2021 and the same thing has happened to me.  Disabling the Graphics Processor worked as a temp fix for me.  Would like to know when it's fixed tho.

in PS 2021 when i open a document created in PS 2020, the type tool doesn't show any gridline. you can't highlight writings either. it only works if you create a new document from scratch

same issue here - quick fix was to turn off "use graphics processor" in the preferences under performance

Same problem - can't edit or select text since upgrading to v22. Really, really, really huge, unacceptable issue. How did this pass QA before they released it? Solved it by installing the old version of Photoshop and using it.

When I select text to change the font or size or anything, the highlight does not show. I can't tell what is selected.  I uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop 2021, but it still happens. Another person on my team has the same issue.  Any ideas on how to solve this?

Thanks!
