    Yes, I have been seeing the same thing.

    Select the model you need to use.

    Hit Cancel

    Clear the selection

    Make the selection again

    Click on Generate and Immediately start typing your prompt.

     

    If I decide to change the model and go back to the Prompt, then it stops working again.

    Annoying, but it seems it is not just you.

    @bbailey45 you’d be better off reporting the issue in the Photoshop Beta forum
