I cannot click on Warp Text in the toolbar of my workspace, but I can select the text and right click and choose warp that way? IMac, Sonoma 14.5, memory 16 GB, Apple M1, PSCC 25.11.0

Thank you.

    Hello, here are four snaps.  I've also attached 2 snaps of my settings. thank you.


    @JoLM disable this option in preferences and restart Photoshop, also you need to click on the type layer for the warp text option to become available

    Select this layer

    In the first image, the text does not appear to be selected but it is in the 2nd image when you right-clicked on it. The text would need to be selected for the Warp Text option to become available in the Options bar. The Warp Text option will be visible but grayed out when the Text tool is selected but not the text on the canvas.

    Hello, thank you. 

    Whether or not the text is selected, the icon remains greyed out. When I activate text, put my curser on the screen, the after photo appears. After I finished typing, the after photo appears. When I select the text, the after photo appears, blocking the warp text icon.

    Hi Ged... the "enable Narrow Options bar" was the culprit!.  I must of checked it yesterday when I was going through some settings. Thank you!  It was driving me crazy, Friday no prob, Saturday prob. After unchecking today, Sunday no prob. 😎 I appreciate you time and assistance!  (As for the type layer, it was always selected when I was troubleshooting and trying to get warp to work.) best regards,
