I have a very similar issue, which I haven't experienced before the latest update. I can resize using the boxes on the same side of the alignment of the text, but clicking on the opposite side only deselects the box. In the example below, the text is aligned left in the box. If I click anywhere to the right of the red arrow, the box is deselected. The cursor appears as expected (text cursor inside the box, resize arrows on the border), but clicking just deselects. If the text is set to align right, the problem reverses; I can't resize using the left boxes because any clicks to the left of a certain point deselect the box. When the text is centered, the text box behaves normally. The problem doesn't happen with all text boxes, and I haven't been able to force it to appear in a new box since yesterday, but it does remain in the text box I provided as an example above. I've reset the text tool, relaunched PS and restarted my computer. Maybe it was just a glitch, but I'd like to know how to fix or avoid it for the future. It's quite annoying when it happens.

Yes, my problem was resolved when I figured out the network issue. Still not sure why it happened in the first place, but my last post was my solution.

Gadzooks! After your reply, I remembered that I had an issue with Premiere Pro because, for some reason, it defaulted to using a networked drive instead of my PC's local drive, and I had some issues connecting to it. I have since resolved those issues, and lo and behold, the Photoshop generator problem is gone, too. It's weird, though. I don't recall telling either program to use that network drive for anything, and I don't see any settings referring to it in either program now. (Photoshop lists only my local drive as a scratch disk.) So, while the larger issue might not be resolved, it's fixed on my computer at the moment. Thanks!

Throwing mine in. Same problem, but maybe more info will help. I'll be as detailed as possible. Work computer. I have admin privileges. Had CS6 on Windows Vista. (Yes, I know.) Upgraded to Windows 7 and PS CC, and I'm getting the generator message now. Honestly, I'm not sure if it was happening when I first installed CC, but it has definitely happened every time I've opened since the latest update. Adobe Photoshop Version: 2015.1 20151114.r.301 2015/11/14:23:59:59 CL 1053036 x64 Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit Version: 7 SP1 No third-party plug-ins. When I open PS, this is the error message I get before anything else: File > Export > Export As pops up the same error. It also opens the Export As dialogue, but it just spins the "Processing" wheel forever. I can click Scale All options, Zoom options, and the Export All button, but nothing happens in any case. I can also close the window or cancel, which I have to do. Not sure if this is related, but File > Export > Save for Web gives me a different error. Nothing else shows up except: File > Generate is greyed out; never seen it otherwise. "Enable Generator" is active in Preferences > Plug-Ins. There's no generator.js in my User folder, but there is one in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015\Required\Generator-builtin\lib, along with a bunch of other .js files. Also found one in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud\CCXProcess\js\node_modules\request\node_modules\har-validator\node_modules\bluebird\js\main. ("Of course!" you say. "Why didn't I think to look there?") C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015\Plug-ins\Generator is an empty folder. Things I've tried: Renaming the generator.js file to generator.js.old Removing the empty Generator folder (per this thread). Unchecking "Enable Generator" in preferences Installing Edge Reflow (It was mentioned in this thread‌'s answer, but the reflow.generate folder wasn't there when I installed), then later uninstalling it Trying to make sure none of the Adobe folders were Read-Only (per what I understood from this article.) Running Adobe CC Cleaner Reinstalling PS CC After each of those, I restarted my computer. The previously described behavior was identical each time.
