Typewriter tool doesn't behave correctly

After initiating the tool, placing/ clicking the cursor, typing the text, no text is written. There is a small rectangle with tiny grip squares as expected, but the rectangle cannot be pulled or stretched either. In fact, it cannot be deleted. It is behaving just as if it were locked but before I am able to type anything into the rectangle.

Thank you for your assistance. Your suggestion regarding the Preferences

did not work. However, I discovered that there are at least two ways to

invoke what was formerly called the Typewriter Tool. 1) under Comments/

Annotations (this is still not working, and 2) under More Tools/ Content

Editing - this *does *work. - So at least I have a work-around.

Incidentally, I notice that many of the Comment tools, including lines,

circles, etc., are locked when I first draw them. This means that I must

unlock them to adjust the width of the line, or whatever. It dawned on me

that the text tool may be pre-locked as well but in this case there is no

way to click on Properties to unlock it. Do you know a way around this?

Right click on the draw rectangular or circle, there you will find properties. In the properties dialog box uncheck the "Locked" box. Hope it might work.

Thanks
