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.

@mark_dahm please just bring back line tool in FULL and exactly SAME way as it was before the arrogant change that Adobe did, despite NOBODY of their paying user had never asked for. 

I hope this is clear enough for Adobe to understand

I'm happy that they reinstated the pixel line tool option but I find it very difficult to line up properly due to the vector preview instead of the line width and actual pixel line as the preview. I'm having to draw lines multiple times to line up to a reference. Why is it so difficult to restore the original features as they were? I have been frustrated in the last few years with features I use everyday taken away without another option sufficient in its place. I have been in computer graphics since 1985 and have been using Photoshop since the early 90s. I have worked at software companies and there used to be extensive beta tests before any release. Please consider using artists who work in the program all day/everyday as beta testers instead of Photoshop staff who aren't artists but are programmers. Thank you!

I strongly agree with Jeremy Plant here. Adobe is erratically patching their bugs, bringing the new ones along with each update. Please, take your time, fix all bugs, carefully do beta testing and bring update two times a year max. Your behaviour results in situation, when proffesionals are scared of every single update. We do not have time to play with your products, we use them for our daily work, and stressed with deadlines, nothing really please us more than to struggle with your bugs.

@craig maxey , being new to this forum, you should also know that the expectation here is that anything vaguely polemic will draw a rebuke from @DGrainger . Just do what the rest of us do and draw mild amusement from it ;-D
