Character panel cut off on right side

I have not seen anyone complain about this, so I'm wondering if it's me. Taught this week, my students didn't have any problems. I've reset the prefs several times. I can't resize the panel. It's cut off on the right side and I can't choose the style of my text. Myriad Pro has bold, italic, etc, but no way to access it in the character panel, I have to use the options bar which is a pain in the butt. I'm on a late 2012 iMac running Mojave. No other PS problems...

    After actually looking at photoshop cc 20.0.4 where the problem seems to be, going to Photoshop CC>Interface, checking

    Scale UI To Font and restarting photoshop seems to work.

    Good sleuthing on that, Jeff. It cleared the problem in 20.0.4/10.13.6. There was nothing wrong with the Character Panel under Mojave, but I checked Scale UI to Font before I forget. Might as well head that one off at the pass. Now we'll see how well it worked for Melissa.

    Is that photoshop 20.0.4?

    If you go to Photoshop CC>Preferences>Interface, set the UI Font Size to Small and restart photoshop, does that make a difference?

    I'm seeing this in High Sierra. To change the Style, I can double-click the name and use the up/down arrow keys to change it.

    Or place your cursor slightly inside of the blue highlighted box from the right and click. (screenshot will not display the mouse pointer).
