    I thought I had lost my mind. I've been trying to select my content using the BLACK arrow as I've done since I started using Adobe products in 1997 and it was acting like the direct selection arrow. So I restarted thinking it just needed reset. When I returned the same thing happened. So I hovered only to find them named 'incorrectly' - the black arrow is now "direct selection" and white "selection". I am truly speechless like everyone else, no doubt.

    Thinking of what Ravi Kiran wrote - 'hollow' vs black and white - I went in and change my color theme to white and voila! They appeared correct. This only added to my frustration. My distain for a light gray or white UI is great, especially after being in dark mode for so long. But, until this is fixed (if), I shall use the light colors in order to maintain my efficiency.

    Poor, Adobe, very poor.
