Direct selection tool no longer allows me to move type

[robertt90733727]

Last week, I could grab type with the direction selection tool and move it anywhere. Now, since some update, I cannot. I have to type number into the Transform area. Also, my tools shifted to different positions in the tool bar. I need to get this fix please. I'm on an older Mac and tried to get tech support help via chat. The guy said give me 2 minutes. 10 minutes later, he's not back, and I'm logged out.

Seriously. No one has a clue about this? I guess I'll have to give up Photoshop then after 30+ years of use because I'm not going to pay a lot of money per month for a program that suddenly doesn't work. Ciao.

The Direct Selection tool is for use on Paths. You want the Move tool.

For 30+ years, I believe, I've used the same tool. In the same location. With the same, solid results. Now, 30+ years later, after having paid I have no idea how many thousands of dollars for a program, updates, and now subscriptions, I have to go begging for an answer, and, oh yeah, have tech support disconnect and/or not answer me. The first guy switches me to the Photoshop team. The guy on the Phothoshop team, he didn't know. He asked me a bunch of questions, and then he said he needed a couple of minutes to go check with someone. Really? Possibly the most basic question someone could have? Okay. Well, thank you, Semaphoric. I still feel like an idiot, but, at least I have an answer.
