Transform function grayed out in PS CC

I had some text that I needed to rotate in PS CC (Win 7) and the Transform function on the drop down menu was grayed out.

The Control-T shortcut didn't work either. No bounding box would appear so I couldn't rotate the text.

I ended up saving my project to my hard drive, exited PS CC and then reopened PS CC and reopened my project. This time the Transform function was no longer grayed out and I could Transform/rotate my text.

This has happened multiple times and has to be a PS CC bug.

Is this issue being addressed by Adobe?

    Are you being serious?

    The next time this happens could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels (Layers etc.) visible?

    See attached.

    Text layer is selected.

    Transform and Free Transform are grayed out.

    This has happened multiple times (almost everyday).

      Nothing obvious springs out.

      Is a Selection active?

      Can you recreate the issue at will?

      What have you done for general trouble-shooting so far?

      Photoshop: Basic Troubleshooting steps to fix most issues

      And this should have no bearing on the issue: But why 32bit for what looks like relatively simple graphic (simple with regard to layout, not content or size etc.)?
