Question

Text not appearing on canvas

I'm on the Creative Cloud Photoshop CC 2019. I was on 2018

I was trying to make a design/logo. I created the dimensions and the canvas was created. When I went over to click on the Text tool and small black dot appeared on the white canvas then I started typing my text but it would not show up/appear. I've checked and done everything I know to do. I reset the tool. I made sure the text color was black. I reset the workspace and essential but still nothing.

I closed out of Photoshop three times hoping it would work. when I tried it for the fourth time I typed in the text and clicked the check box and over in the window panel it would show Lorem text but not on the canvas nor will it show my text on the canvas only in the window panel.  I've never seen the Lorem text before. I deleted the layer and typed again but the text is not appearing.

I'm reinstalling Photoshop to see if that will help!

If not, what would you suggest that I do?

Have you checked that the text tool blend mode is set to normal? Also that the text is not larger than the document?
