In Photoshop 27.5 on a Mac running 26.2 when I attempt to add canvas to a photo the dialog box contains an anchor box. This anchor no longer has the arrows in all of the boxes except the center which does contain a dot. How can I get the arrows back?

The anchor box used to add canvas to a photo is missing the arrows. How do I get them back

    Yes, it’s part of the “modern user interface”, but personally I wouldn’t call it an issue. I think this new layout, without the rather messy arrows, is much more intuitive and clear.

    See if going to Photoshop 2026>Settings>Technology Previews, unchecking Enable Modern User Interface and restarting Photoshop solves the issue.
