Premiere Pro closed captioning bug

Ann, I got Lee's results on first test, but on the fourth caption. I then tried to ensure that I added text each time, but it did not remain selected. I selected it. Got to caption 7, and tried an empty one and another. Got the problem on each. Added text and caption 8 could be changed, but never on caption 9. Once there was a problem, I did not find that adding text would avoid the no color/transparent outcome.

Whether there is a way to avoid this by some method of entry, there is a problem: there are two elements in the <CaptionList> in the project file that is missing information. Instead of a style tag with a url and anchorID code, there is just an empty <script/> tag. And instead of a style tag with backgroundcolor code, there is only fontsize. Once the code is in the project file (and perhaps before, in whatever temporary space holds it), there is no backgroundColor code, and it cannot be edited.

When I replace the correct information in the "bad" project file, all is as it should be. But this is not for the faint of heart.

Using regular code, the correct information should be:

&lt;style xmlns:adobe="http://www.w3.org/ns/ttml#styling" adobe:anchorID="6"/&gt;

&lt;style tts:backgroundColor="#000000FF" tts:fontSize="18px"/&gt;

I used notepad++ to search and replace, but the CaptionList is a single, dense paragraph, and rather mind-numbing, even with only 6 captions.
