Show Clipping not working

Help! "Show Clipping" has suddenly stopped working. I know about clicking the triangles, I know about pressing J to toggle clipping on and off, I know about pressing option (alt) while using sliders. None of these are working. Any ideas what I can do?  I'm on a Mac with most recent version of LR Classic. Thanks!

Maybe, Just Maybe, there isn't any Blown highlights or completely Black areas in the image you are trying this on?

Your comment let me to the answer, thanks! I had pulled down the white point with the tone cure and thus noting was clipping. As soon as you made your comment a light bulb went off. Thanks! And thanks everyone else! I'm a video guy getting more into photography and I'm newish to LR. I really appreate the help!

Thanks! I gave that a try but I'm still not able to show clipping. Any other ideas?

Since it suddenly stopped working, have you tried resetting your Lightroom preferences?

I have not tried resetting preferences. I will give that a shot. Thanks!
