Help! CC 2019 - Transform on top bar is missing when text is selected

When I click a shape - the X and Y is sitting in the top bar allowing me to use the up and down arrows to move it around my board to where I want it. However when I click on a single line of text its gone!... I can find the transform options but it doesn't have the little up and down arrows. Does anyone know where Adobe have moved this too?

Do you have the word “Transform” instead? If so, click it to see the controls. If your monitor can’t display the X Y W H , it just shows “Transform”, so this is the most likely reason.

Are you running Illustrator maximized? Try that first.

And show a screen shot if you are still not sure what is happening.

Thank you Jane - I have my board slightly shorter as I grab things from behind quite a lot - annoyingly the new update has made all the icons bigger - hence why it wasn't displaying - Again Thank you!
