Fixed: Pixels option is greyed out for Line tool Photoshop 22.0

I'm liking most of today's update for PShop, thanks Adobe. 

 

But, I went to use the Line Tool (part of the Shape Tools) and the option to draw with pixels is grayed out. I can draw lines with paths and as a shape, but no longer with pixels. The pixels option is available for all the other shapes (square, ellipse, the new triangle, polygon, custom shapes, etc.), so I don't know why it wouldn't work for lines. 

 

Does anyone know what happened?

    Hi All,

     

    Good news, the Pixels mode is now back. For more details on adjusting line weight see Create lines and arrows using the Line tool

     

    To update Photoshop to 22.3, click "Update" in the Creative Cloud desktop app next to Photoshop. See: More detailed instructions for updating

     

    Let us know your feedback!

     

    Thanks,

    Akash

    Hi there,

     

    We're sorry that the "pixels" option is greyed out for the line tool. I can reproduce this issue at my end. Let me get some more information on this issue from the product team.

     

    We appreciate your patience with us.

    Thanks,

    Mohit

    Hello all. I updated to Photoshop 2021 this morning and am having trouble with the line tool. i can't figure out how to change the thickness of the line in the new update. whenever i draw a line, it doesn't show up at all. i've got the color on black and i tried changing the stroke px to a higher number, but it still doesn't show up at all.

     

    do any of you know how to increase the thickness of the line tool in the new update?

      LOL! I made multiple documents that look a lot like that!

       

      This is a ridiculous change. I'm going to use the previous version of Photoshop for the foreseeable future. I use both the plain line and an arrowhead line CONSTANTLY. Losing this capability makes my regular work that much more difficult.


      I dislike the new change to the line tool very much. As a designer that works on precision drawings and renderings this REALLY disables me in my profession. I cannot say enough what a bad oversight this was to disable the pixels option on the line tool. Who is responsible for this great think tank?
