I just updated photoshop to 2019 20.0 and now the text tool is misbehaving. I see no cursor and I can't select tpe. There is just nothing. I obviously disabled the stupid lorum ipsum nonsense, so when I click with the text tool, there is absolutely no indicatation that anything is happening. My coworker has the same problem and reset his preferences which fixed nothing.

Also... If I drag a text box, it shows no bounding box, no edges, no transform boxes, just nothing.
try Control + H
Reset preferences, restarted computer. Open my file, no change.
I read through this thread and they found a work-around. The text tool doesn't work until I open a NEW document. Then it works normally in all my other files, and continues to work until I shut the computer down. Upon reboot, it doesn't work anymore... until I open a NEW document.
Thank you sooooooo much, it was driving me crazy, I deleted all my preferences, eventually reinstalled and nothing! I'll have to do that until they fix it then!
Quick fix that worked for me.... but it's a workaround until we hear from Adobe... go to Preferences>Performance and turn off "Use Graphics Processor"
I have definitely slowed my workflow. I am working with some larger files though - can definitely see the difference in rendering time.
Thank you for the temporary workaround Mac! Definitely helped me out!:)
Thank for the tip ("Preferences>Performance and turn off "Use Graphics Processor" "). It worked! But you have to turn it off, exit Photoshop, and then open it again. What a relief!
I tried leaving the Graphics Processor checked but clicked on the advanced tab and turned the graphics processor to "Normal" mode. It fixed the problem with text highlighting and bounding boxes showing up in CMYK mode. Hopefully that will help in still having a Graphics Processor.
Yes!! This finally worked. It was driving me crazy!

Done. Thanks!

Hi Everyone,
Would you please tell us what OS you're using? I've filed this with engineering for investigation, but we could use more

Issue started with the update to Photoshop CC2019 (Ver. 13) while I was running High Sierra. I upgraded to Mojave (iOS 104.14) hoping that might fix the issue... no luck. Still fighting it.
Same here! I don't understand why they have to change EVERYTHING with each upgrade. If it ain't broke, don't "fix" it. It's so frustrating to relearn the application EVERY time Adobe upgrades the apps.

Single undos and background-only Photoshop wasn't broken. It was very fast and had fewer bugs! I, for one, was happy to relearn Photoshop when they introduced layers, history, non-destructive adjustment layers...
The issue should not be that Adobe is making changes... it should be that those changes need to be actually bug free when they get released.

Hi Everyone,
First a question and then would you please try a workaround and let me know if it addresses the issue for you?
Question: Are you opening a non-RGB document?
If you are, would you please open a new RGB document and then check for your text highlighting/cursor again?
Thank you,
Hannah

I tried it in RGB and it works fine. However, I cannot work in RGB as color separation is a big deal for our press. I am constantly adjusting files that were built in RGB when we specify CMYK. The life of a graphic designer, right! :)

Hi Beverly, you don't need to work in RGB, you only need to open a single RGB doc and then it will work correctly in your CMYK doc.
I was opening a cmyk document and opening a new RGB document fixed the problem.
Why is there no update on this issue? The workaround of turning off the coprocessor and opening a new RGB first DOES NOT WORK. When I try to use the text tool anytime (even in a first created new RGB doc), NOTHING HAPPENS, except I create dozens of text layers. I can draw a box but can't click inside and type. I never get a flashing text cursor. This is a big deal. Why isn't it fixed already? This thread is dead 2 months now.

i have the same issue as well, running photoshop with macOS High Sierra. this issue is huge and a time suck. hoping for a fix soon!
Same problem on macOS 10.13.6 and PS CC 20.0.0. RGB documents work as they should only happens in CMYK documents.
Edit: I just realised after opening the RGB document and going back to my CMYK document eversthing worked again. I didn't even shut down/restart anything. weird...

That's the workaround: Known Issues: Text tool highlight/selection, pixel selection edges and transform edges aren't visible
It has worked for me as well but over the weekend it reverted. I did it again and it’s fine. Weird

Hi Everyone,
Please see the instructions here for the workaround for this issue. Open a new document in RGB and your text highlight and cursor will appear, even in other documents.
Thanks,
Hannah

this.
Thank you for the workaround. It does work. Amazing that this is still an issue.
Hi Hannah, this workaround hasn't worked for me. I am using macOS Mojave. Any advice?
An answer on a message board that actually worked!!! Thank you!
Hi Hannah, is there still no actual fix or this? Just the wonky workaround.
Photoshop has some very serious issues moths after release. Not OK.

I see that one was able to disable the lorum ipsum nonsense in my just installed Photoshop CC 2019. How can I remove it? It's annoying!

Preferences > Type... uncheck "Fill new layers with placeholder text"
Is this a permanent fix? And do we need to recheck that box at some point?

Preferences > Type... uncheck "Fill new layers with placeholder text"
^^ it's a preference, so that's the how it works. If you don't want placeholder text, uncheck it. Thanks

Also, when I am in select and mask and choose to change out the background with a color or gradient, it is always black. Help!

All of a sudden today my free transform bounding box disappeared. I've read through a bunch of this and none of the suggestion work. Even when I place something the transform bounding box doesn't appear (attached screenshot). Please help!

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Lasso Tool does not show up when placing points.
When I select the lasso tool and place points on the artboard you can't see the line placed by either mouse or pen.
You have to randomly cross over the area where you placed the first point to connect the lasso. It's supper annoying.

The boundary box is missing when I transform!! Why??? Adobe please fix PSD. I resorted to go back to my CS3 system.
I've tried all these fixes, and still no transform controls. I'm running on a PC, Windows 10, latest update. RGB files. I can't even find the checkbox where I can turn on the transform controls.
Jeffrey Tranberry, Sr. Product Manager, Digital Imaging
Are you selecting Edit > Transform...? Or in the Move tool (top tool in the toolbar)? If the later, you can click "Show Transform Controls" in the tool options bar across the top.
