Problem with "Fixed proportions" or "Fixed size" in selection

In the latest version of Photoshop (26.8.1), when I use the "Rectangular Marquee Tool (M)" to make a selection, under Style, I don't see the "Fixed Proportion" or "Fixed Size" options. I see "Generate Image" or "Import Image," but I can't select them either. There seems to be some kind of bug in that version.
I've reverted to Photoshop version 26.8.0 and it works fine.

It’s absurd that this problem persists, 9 months on, and at least 3 updates later and it is absurd that Adobe provides no support of any kind to get such issues corrected.

Hey, @katsoulis. Thanks for reaching out. I am sorry for the delay in getting to your post.

I'll help you figure this out. Please share the system information from Photoshop Help > System Info > Copy and paste into a text document > Upload and attach here.

The issue could not be reproduced when it was reported originally. The lack of reproducibility of any issue halts the progress on potential fixes.

I hope you understand. Thanks!

I rolled back to version 26.8.0 and then updated again to 26.8.1.
It seems to be working on my machine now.
I have two colleagues at the office who have had the exact same problem on their computers. As soon as I can, I'll try the same process to see if it works for them as well.
