Edges hiding when using the Pencil Tool

Question

Hi, I wanted to edit some letters using the Pencil Tool, but whenever I click with the left mouse button and start drawing, I can’t see any line following the Pencil Tool. Also, the edges/paths of the letters disappear, so I never know exactly where I’m drawing.

In the following tutorial, for example at 20:17, you can see that when he uses the tool, a line is drawn and the blue boxes/edges of the letter remain visible the whole time.

"Show Edges" is already enabled.

Usually it happens when path is selected and pencil is active in Edit mode. You can control it from Pencil settings by increasing the distance for editing, The asterisks near the pencil tool indicate that you will draw a new line. If asterisk is off that indicate the editing mode.
