P: Photoshop 22.0: Where is Line Weight/Width and Pixels options?

I'm having trouble using the Line Tool in PS 22.0.0. 

 

How do I set the width/weight of the line? In PS 21 there was a "Weight" option along the top bar, but I don't see that anymore. Am I missing it? Or did it move? 

 

This might be a separate issue, but the lines I'm drawing are not showing up. I have a fill color and stroke color selected, but when I make a line, I don't see it. I just see a blue outline of where it is... the same that might happen if I made a "path" instead of a "shape." 

 

I just need to make a line with a width/weight of 20px.

@craig maxey:  Mark Dahm has already said that this is in the works; let's not keep shooting the messenger!

@mark_dahm I have been a Photoshop user for 20 years.  I just spent over an hour trying to draw lines with arrowheads, still not successful.  I will be pursuing this hostile user attitude in other forums.

Not just v22.0, I use CC and automatically receive updates whenever available.... AND THIS STILL IS NOT FIXED. I understand changes can't be made overnight, but what we're asking isn't a development of a brand new feature... this functionality already existed and worked beautifully for years prior.

How has this not yet been addressed?

I have downgraded to the previous version and will not update until this is back. 

I make a LOT of tutorials that require a FAST way to make a simple (stupid) line.  I need to make a simple line, not stroke a path. 

The fact that the line tool defaults to an inner stroke (and therefore disappears when you click off it) shows how poorly thought through this new "feature" really is.  Also, gotta love the fact that the "pixel" option shows up, (frustratingly greyed out) to make it appear that the user is doing something wrong.

I've been using Photoshop since v. 3.3.  Will this be the "last straw" for me?  Maybe, especially if I can't get older versions.  I thought we were supposed to be able to download CS6 "forever".  So glad to have a couple of archived copies of THAT at least.

This is ridiculous and infuriating. I'm an illustrator whose used PhotoShop for about 20 years. I wanted to use the line tool (as i usually do) to create a simple dividing line between a book spread but I could not get it to work. Eventually i found the fix online - but what should have taken me 30 seconds took at least 15 minutes. Who has time for this crap! Your software is now not only way overpriced, it's now not even able to do the simplest of jobs.
I along with many others am seriously considering switching to an alternative app.

Updated PS this morning (Feb 2021) - still not returned. Rolled back to the 2020 version...again. Get your act together Adobe. This is garbage.

I hope the Adobe team fixes this issue quickly.
