Why does properties box for text grey out when trying to change size in text box?

The box I am referring to is below listed as "Properties". For some reason, I cannot get the new text properties box (usually black and more modern looking) to pop up at all. It comes and goes at random times.

When in comment app, If you place the mouse cursor within the text box and do a Ctrl_E, you will see the new text properties box (black and modern looking)

Hi, thanks for responding. I frequently use that command and it is still not popping up. Could this just be a bug I am experiencing?
