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.

    Same issue. The fix mentioned fixed it. But I have a gnarly fast video card and not being able to use it as my graphics processor is unfortunate.

    Fix the problem Adobe. Call Geforce. Whatever. Do something. This is taking far too long.

    I have the same trouble

    With the "use GPU" checkbox is on:
    - cursor is not displayed;
    - selected text is not highlighted;
    - text frame borders are not displayed.

     

    Restarting and rebooting doesn't help

    CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-661 3.33GHz

    For the time being, Just disable the GPU acceleration and restart Photoshop, It seems to do the job.

      Come on, Adobe, you have to realize asking people to turn off GPU acceleration or changing the color mode on PRINT documents from CMYK to RGB is not a tenable solution.   I've been experiencing this problem since updating from PS2020 to PS2021.   Both the above solutions worked, but both also make the core PS product very difficult to work with.   Try running a huge multi-layer PS file without the GPU turned on.  Yeah.  Pretty awful.   And if you're working with print materials, RGB is useless.   You need CMYK for print.   This has been an issue FOR WEEKS and still no patch.  (Or did I miss it?)  And let's face it, this is a bug in one of the apps core editing tools, not some obscure filter.  How did you miss this???  I'm paying for the full creative suite out-of-pocket, and this bug is definitely adding to my cost of doing business, not decreasing it.  When will a solution be ready?

        Same issue Adobe ! 

        This interrupts my workflow, meeting a deadline for a client... back to my old PS version I go.

          I'm having the same issue, only on CMYK mode, switching to RBG fixes it but going back to CMYK brings the problem back, tried the GPU "fix" but didn't work, this is very annoying.

            I was having the same problem, Photoshop 2021 and Mac running Catalina...  A very, very, very annoying situation I must say... So I read here to desable "Use Graphic Processor" and the trick also worked for me. But it would be good if Adobe could verify the problem...

            I can verify the same problem in the latest PS CC version 22.0.0 on Windows 10 as well, and just as in the Mac OS version, disabling GPU will solve the problem, this should be considered a high priority case and be fixed ASAP

            Just click on Ctrl+K and then go to Performance then uncheck Use Graphics Processor
