Click the move tool but bounding box does not appear to edit/transform layer.

For years I have been able to click the move tool and the bounding box appears and I can edit/transform size as needed for composites for sports banners (text, images. graphics).

The only way I can do it right now is hitting Ctrl T after selecting the layer. What happened? How do I get the old way back? This is adding an extra step and hoping there is a solution.

Thanks!

Thank You for asking that question. I have used ADOBE for years and such a simple thing that I had forgotten and was driving me nuts

As soon as something starts driving you nuts, you can always start a new post and ask here. It might be a bug or it might be a change, but we can usually tell you.''

"Show Transform Controls" is now optional — it used to be required.

Thanks Trevor. How do I get the Show Transform Control back on to my workspace?

Never mind. I just realized I have to click the 9 dotted box (pardon me for not knowing the correct name) next to layer. I guess on the last update it gave me that box. Anyway, I think I can now go back to my normal workflow.

You have to click the center dot to get access to the transform tool. I have no idea what the other dots do.
