Can't select mask

Question

Apple Macbook pro 2021 M1, ventura 13.2.1

photoshop 24.0.0. and newest two updates

Cant chose existing mask by clicking in it, it appers selected exactly after cration but then if i move to layer or otherwhere i cant chose any mask of any layer. The only way is to select layer->properties->mask icon (there i can see the massage "no mask selected")->click to mask icon near the massage and thats it - i have selected mask. What goes wrong? how it could be fixed?

Yes, it's difficult without a screenshot.

Just in case that's the issue, to select a mask, you need to highlight it. Click on the relevant thumbnail, not near the name, the chain link or anywhere else.
If you want to slect a layer, click on the layer thumbnail (on the left)and if you want to select a mask, click on the right thumbnail.
