Essentials Graphics - Not Seeing Preview

Hi,

I'm creating graphics to sit on top of a BMP image I have within a video.

When I click on the text tool and type the text I want, I do not seeing anything appear.

If I roll back and play the sequence the text is there. This means I'm typing completely blind as nothing is showing, no font changes, colours etc until I roll back and play.

I hope this makes sense and I'm sure this is something I am doing wrong and there is a simple fix!

Thanks
