You might try relaunching the Finder. Right-click on the Finder icon in the Dock and select "Relaunch." If that fixes it, then this is related to an ongoing issue with the Finder. If not, then you might try restarting (definitely not the thing you want to do if you can't save your work, I know, but that's been reported to help with some issues).
