Can't reply to Text box or Text callout comments

When reviewing a document where I or a colleague have added comments, I don't see a "reply" link or box in the Comments bar for "Text box" or "Text callout" comment types.

I do see a "Reply" link for other comment types (e.g. Applied Stamp, Line, or Arrow).

I'm using Acrobat Pro DC 2015.006.30495.

My colleagues with newer (2018?) versions of Acrobat Pro DC do see a "reply" box for those comment types.

And if one of them has previously replied to a Text Box or Text Callout comment, I can reply to that reply.

Any suggestions here?

Have you found a solution for the problem? I am experiencing the same issue with Acrobat Pro DC 2015.006.30352.

Sounds like Acrobat was improved in the years since you opted to freeze on a 2015 feature set... it's your choice, but you will diverge more and more from the features in the current version.

Unfortunately, I have no control over the version of the software in use since it is supplied by the company I work for. I would however like to know if this is a feature that does not exist/work in the 2015 version or if I am just missing a setting somewhere in the program.
