Illustrator CC: text selection not highlighting

[Sharpie D]

I have a basic document in Illustrator CC. The document is just text boxes for an organization chart.

When I go to change text in a text box, specifically trying to select text and edit the text - their is no text selection. I cannot go into a text box and double-click to select text, nothing selects and/or their is not selection color.

How do I fix text selection?

I'm not using Hide Edges all the time, but every now and then it is indeed very helpful to be able to hide selected point. Even with type. The highlighting can be not only distracting, but also hides the artwork.
