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

Same here. I can't highlight the text nor can i amend the size of the text box without stretching the font. Very very annoying. Switching off the GPU works after restart but all the graphics are very grainy and it is horrible. Hope a fix happens soon

There is a bug in the 22.0 version of Adobe Creative Cloud. When Ii use the text tool in a text layer in a document in CMYK mode, I do not have the cursor for editing the text layer. This is also true when I am in a document in grayscale mode. I do have the cursor in the RBG mode, but if I convert that document with a text layer to grayscale mode, the cursor is no longer available.

Why can the text in text layers in a Photoshop PDF with Photoshop 22.0.0 under MacOS 10.15.7 no longer be edited - was no problem with the previous PS version.

The same file can be easily edited in PS 13.0 MacOS 10.11.6.

Hello, I found a bug in the latest Photoshop update:

It is impossible to select the text in a CMYK file. However in a RGB file selecting the text works fine.


Version: Photoshop 22.0.0

Platform: Windows 10

Same problem actually, can't select and even the text line that we usually type in we can't see

Made an update to Photoshop 22.0 today. Same issue here.
No cursor or highlighted text areas here.
Only with the workaround in turning off the GPU Graphics Acceleration :(.

Having the same issue, frustrating as hell...
I used the work-around and can confirm both the sluggish behaviour and that it works (my rig - 32gb of ram  / geforce 2070 / AMD FX 8350 4ghz)

These new and improved versions always screw something up, last one was the compositing, now this... 😞

Here's hoping the guys and gals at Adobe get it fixed... soon. 🙂

It worked but the interface now seems sluggish and the graphics look choppy on Mac... 😞 It is interesting as I did not have any problems on MacBook with the same PS version. Hmmm.

Hi Andrew, it isn't that I cannot see the text, it is that I cannot select the text. And I saw a few other people on the community page with this same problem. see below thread.

https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop/m-type-tool-problems-after-update/m-p/11522653?page=1

and it seems as if it is only doing it in CMYK files.

I have since been told that it is a known problem that is being worked on.

Thanks

Hi @annelise atkinson ,

I haven't heard of any customers experiencing this problem with v22.0.  May I ask what color font is the type layer you're setting?  If you select the type layer in the layers panel and then change the font color in the properties tab, do you still not see the text?

Sincerely,

Andrew
