I can't resize after selecting the image or text in elementst 2018

When I select an image or text, I can't change the size. The blocks to resize are not visible. I can now only drag and move a image or text. 

 

Who knows how to fix this?

    Try this:

    Restore default preferences
    Preference settings control how Photoshop Elements Editor displays images, cursors, and transparencies, saves files, uses plug‑ins and scratch disks, and so on. If the application exhibits unexpected behavior, the preferences file could be damaged. You can restore all preferences to their defaults.

    Note: Deleting the preferences file is an action that cannot be undone.

    Do one of the following:

    Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Mac: Option+Command+Shift) immediately after Photoshop Elements begins launching. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file.
    Go to Edit > Preferences (Mac: Photoshop Elements > Preferences > General), click the Reset Preferences on next launch button, and then click OK. When you restart Adobe Photoshop Elements, all preferences are reset to default settings.
    A new preferences file is created the next time you start Photoshop Elements Editor. For information on a specific preference option, search for the preference name in Help.
