Can't see selection boundary as I make it

When I use a selection tool, such as the Polygon Lasso Tool or Lasso Tool, as I make my selection nothing appears on the screen, no lines, no nothing. Once the selection is made, then the marching ants appear.

Same for crop tool, when I make a crop box nothing shows up, but if I hover over the edges of the the invisible box, i can drag it, etc. When I hit enter, then it crops image.

Using Mojave, PS 2019, iMac Pro.

Some things I have tried is a restart of computer, and a reset of all PS preferences.

I have a screen capture video here: Dropbox - psproblem.mov

any help would be greatly appreciated, I feel like I'm losing my mind.

I have a similar problem: MacPro; Mohave; PS CC2019

When I open a greyscale image and try to crop it, no crop boundaries show up at all; no indication that the tool is working, but if I put the mouse over the spot where the crop handles should be, it will crop but I can't see the boundaries or grid.

If I change that image to RGB, the handles all appear.

When I change back to greyscale, the handles stay for that image and all subsequent images.

But once I log out, I have to do this all over again if I start with a greyscale image.

Appears that my only solution may be to go back to using PS 2018, which works fine. Get it together Adobe.

I went back to using PS2018 yesterday, it worked fine. Today went back to PS2019 without changing anything or restarting computer and my problem was gone. Literally no changes made. I think this pretty much classifies my issue as a bug.
