I'm trying to draw a basic line, but instead it draws an arrow shape.
I select the Line Tool from the toolbar. I set up its fill and stroke colors and thickness. I simply try to draw a line with it. But it prints an arrow instead of a line.
I switch to Custom Shape Tool and select an object (e.g.; a rabbit). When I return back to the Line Tool, it still draws an arrow. So I guess it is independent with the shape selected in the Custom Shape Tool.
I don't see a Geometry Option in the toolbar, so this answer doesn't help me in Photoshop CS6.
How do I make the line tool draw lines?
EDIT: I don't see this horizontal toolbar:

This thing has been giving me a headache too! I finally found the answer myself.
Do you see the arrow drop-down menu next to the Custom Shape tool? There is a check box for Start and End. Uncheck them both, and it will draw a line instead of an arrow!
If you're looking for the arrowhead options, it's located on the gear (default position):
If that doesn't work, try to reset the line tool:
With line tool selected go top left screen and click drop down arrow next to line image. Then click settings and click Reset tool.
