Photoshop CC No text layers

[seiurus]

This is a stupid question, but it's got me stumped.  I'm trying to type text onto a photo.  I select the Horizontal type tool, and type my text.  I try to move it around and get a warning that no layer has been selected.  Looking in the layers panel, I see that there is no text layer. Hard to do, but I managed it!  How can no layer be generated when you start to type?

You're right... as soon as you select the Text tool a new layer should be created. Not sure why that is happening but what type of file are you working with? Have you tried a different file? What are the settings on this file? Can you post a screen shot with the Text tool selected showing the whole screen?

Did you click on the canvas first to have an insertion point? Just clicking the text tool will not generate a text layer.

Yes, I clicked on the canvas, and the type appeared, as it should.  Just no layer in the layers panel.

Hi

Check your layers panel and ensure you don't have a filter on as in the example below

removing the filter above reveals the text layer:

Thank you. This was the solution for me and two of my students.

Please post a screen shot. Have you tried a new file? Does it happen in and older file? Have you rebooted your system?
