cannot edit a text box

Try opening the Layers panel. Hold shift while clicking the desired text layer. I've encountered similar issues like that and holding Shift while clicking the layer from the Layer panel, not the document, did the trick.

It's because the font needs to be changed. You may have uploaded a custom font that is no longer working for some reason or there is an issue with the font it is set to for some reason. I was able to edit it when I changed the font to something close to what it was.

Try left-clicking, then pressing Find and Replace ( Ctrl + F ). Now, you can type in the word you want to replace and then type in the replacement.

I struggled with the same issue, changing the browser didn’t help. Finally, I realized the problem was with layers. When you click on the text box, it selects all layers underneath it, like a group. So, I selected the text object from the Layers panel and moved it to a place with no other layers. Then, double-clicking simply worked. Maybe it will be helpful.

I resolved this same issue by switching my browser from Safari to Chrome. 

Same Issue, This progam has become a joke and we pay good money and can not even edit a simple text box.

I was having the same issue -- if I added text in Adobe Express, I could select it and sometimes delete it, but couldn't edit and add my own text. I just discovered, though, if you write your desired text in another application, copy it, go back to Adobe Express to select the text, and then paste it, that works. And then magically, the text box also becomes editable...  So something about copy and pasting seems to do the trick?  

This is also happening to me, but only when I start a new file using a template. Most of the templates have a texture at the very top that I need to lock first. Afterwards I can select the text boxes and can move/rezsize but am unable to edit the text. Double-clicking or anything mentioned as a solution does not solve the issue. 

Please help Adobe!

How can this be a thing??
