Paths not appearing in Photoshop

For the past 10+ years I've always been able to add multiple paths onto a single path. First path is visible but when I add another, I don't see the path lines, only anchor points. Am I doing something wrong? Or did something change in Photoshop? Thanks for any help/suggestions!

It's a bug in 22.3. As a workaround you will need to maintain a workpath.

It's one month later. I just updated PS yesterday to 22.3.1, and this is still not fixed. Come on, Adobe, let's do better. I *mostly* love using your software, but I don't need to deepfake facial expressions on photos ... I need to use the essential tools I rely on and pay for on a daily basis. Do you test this stuff before you put it out? I realize there is a workaround here, but these bugs cost thousands of your users valuable time to figure out there is something wrong with the app and then go try to find out what's going on and find a solution or workaround.

Have you added to the bug report that will be seen by Adobe?

Thanks, Dave. I'd love to (putting in another few minutes of unbillable time), but I'm not finding this. Maybe I'm naive about how things work, but it seems like one report of a basic tool being inoperative should prompt some action.


It's up to you Jeff. I'm just a Photoshop user like you, not an Adobe employee.

Thank you Dave. This must be driving people nuts.

There are a few big bugs in 22.3 . Personally I stepped back to 22.2 whilst they get resolved.
