Can't edit text if not top layer

I am using a template for a festival poster and am trying to edit some of the text elements in the template. If i click on them, i can see that they are text and that they should be editable (the text bar opens) but i cannot replace the text with my own. I had to move the layer to the very top of all the other layers in order to edit it, then put it back in the correct layer order after. This is such a poor user experience, especially considering this is an Adobe owned template.

@Abhi.G @ ADBE , you are correct; I was not hitting enter on the keyboard. That solved it, thank you!

then hit the Enter key on the keyboard

If not, could you please try that?

Did you ever find a solution? It's very frustrating and quite unbelievable Adobe has not addressed this. It makes the title of the software 'EXPRESS' fairly comical....
