Fixed: Can't Edit Text/Type tool problems with Photoshop 22.0

So I got the Photoshop update this morning, and the type tool is having issues. When I click in a text frame, it doesn't show the frame and I can't highlight the text. I can still edit the text, but there's no visual indicator of where the cursor is, where the frame is, etc.

 

Anyone else having this issue, and is there any kind of fix? I have to use text frequently in the graphics I create, and not being able to see where I'm working is going to be a pain.

    Creative Cloud just updated my Adobe Apps to version 2021. I'm on a Mac, running Catalina. I just tried to edit a text on a Photoshop file I have, and selecting a text was absolutely imposible. The cursor never appears and selecting text the way we're used to do it, just dragging the cursor over a type layer, is not working. Can you please get this situation fixed?

        Hi Pete:

        First, I disabled the GPU on Preferences - Performance, closed PS, reopened and that corrected the problem.

        I must say I thought that would not be necesarry, because my MacMini is brand new, with a GPU running on Metal, but I did it and it worked out.

        I let it like that for a few days and today, I enabled GPU again, modify some parameters on Advanced Settings, closed PS, reopened it and Voilá!, it worked again perfectly. Don't really know what could've happened initially.

        Thanks for your quick response.

        • I have disabled the GPU, closed PS, and reopened. This corrected the problem.
