Seems like the properties for 3D text is missing. Cannot make any adjustments, like change font or dept of extrution. Any ide how to make these options available?
As of 2023 the bug still exists. I have this problem too, all the time. What's more, when this problem occurs it also seems to mess up other objects' properties. The proper properties disappear after the text object misbehaves and instead show the input box for the text object that I have selected before. The original properties only reappear after a freeze, subsequent force quit and restart - not after a normal quit and restart. 'Luckily' a freeze is never far away when these problems occur.
Can you show us your scene panel.? In the image we can see "No in order". note in text panel. Did you see this note when you placing default "Text" (Lorem Ipsum) on canvas?
