Spacebar didn’t work. Clearing everything out didn’t work. Time didn’t work.
But Control Panel > Appearance > Display settings > Make text larger or smaller > Select Medium instead of Large worked!

The program won’t work with Large font settings, but will work correctly with Medium font settings. My computer was set on Large so an older knitting program would work. So now it’s back on Medium.

Hope this helps someone.

@Toni Plutonij
Actually, I care because I only recently started having the same issue. That’s the reason I’m here reading your post.
In PS-CS3 I went to “Edit>Purge>All” and cleared everything out with no luck.
So I restarted PS with no luck.
So I googled the problem which brought me here. I thought I would try hitting “space bar.” But when I went back to PS it was working normally again.
Next time I’ll try hitting “that big key on [my] keyboard” to see if it will work sooner.
Thanks.

I know it’s a year old post, and that nobody actually cares at this point, but to let you know….Next time, just press SPACE….yeah that big key on your keyboard..

Should fix your problem!
