P: Text input cursor disappeared in File Info

[RankRotten]

The text input cursor is not visible in Photoshop CC File Info IPTC boxes when using dark mode on MacOS. This change happened around the Jan/Feb CC 2020 update and has not been fixed yet.

Thank you, Ranjisha, for your reply. I just now updated Photoshop to version 23.1 and the problem remains. FYI, I have been using Photoshop 2022 for only 3 weeks or so; Adobe tech support had helped me install 2022 after finding that the 2018 verison I'd been using on my older iMac didn't open on the new iMac I purchased having the M1 chip and running Monterey. Photoshop 2022 seemed to be just fine, and the curor was appearing in the Get Info window as expected for a few days. Then all of a sudden when I was working on a file I realized the cursor had disappeared, even though it had just been there. I am unaware of any keyboard command or other action I might have taken inadvertently to cause it to disappear. (By accident I once had hit Command-L in Apple's Mail program, which causes read e-mail messages to disappear until I hit Command-L again to reverse it - something I didn't know would happen - and it tooks weeks to figure that out since it is a little-known fact that even most Apple tech support staff doesn't seem to know. I wondered it something similar had happened with Photoshop.) Nothing I tried brought the cursor back. I have not tried to reinstall Photoshop, though I could. The first screenshot shows what I am seeing when I place the cursor in the Description box between the "c" and "y" in "Acylic" so that I can correct the spelling by adding an "r". The cursor is invisible even though it is there. The second screenshot shows that I get a gray background when I select a word, so at least that shows up. Curious that the cursor isn't appearing, though. Other than this issue, I currently am not experiencing any other problems with Photoshop. -Lynette
