All of a sudden I can't type width and height of a marquee in the top bar. The document is a standard JPG, no quick mask modes, (single) layer is normal and unlocked. The Fixed Ratio and Size styles are not affected; it's only the Normal style that seems to be afflicted.

I've restarted Photoshop several times, and even the computer itself, but to no avail. Any suggestion?

    You're not supposed to be able to add width or height when the style is Normal. You need to pick Fixed Size and then you can add width and height.

In Normal mode the Width and Height options are not useable. This is by design. This is so you can use the marquee tool to freely select a size or ratio.

Normal Mode

In Fixed Ratio you can choose a ratio for your selection to draw out at.

Fixed Ratio

In Fixed Size mode you can enter in a height and width for your selection.

Fixed Size
