Sometime in the past couple weeks, I'm not sure what's changed, but out of nowhere - I can't pull open the Font dropdown menu in the Character Palette.
I can type the name of the font and it pulls it, but I can't do any sort of way to open that actual dropdown menu. This is pretty new behavior, and super annoying because that's obviously how I always access fonts.
Here's the weird part though:
It works fine with the "text tool" when I actually highlight the text, and use the upper left Toolbar for the font:

Font preview size is normal, deleted my Photoshop Prefs, computer's font prefs, scanned all my fonts for errors, (other apps load the fonts fine) - even reinstalled Photoshop... and copied over my pref files from my work computer that doesn't have this issue... everything I can think of!
I'm out of ideas, and it's kinda disrupting my workflow... any suggestions??
