There are two kinds of text, point type and area type:

  • Point type is created by clicking once. It does not have resize handles (because it's meant to be one line of text). You can move this with the Move tool.

My question is similar—except I think it's a Photoshop CC update bug. The type text box edges don't show up after I draw the box, so I can't adjust the edges.
