Text Box Not Working

Community Beginner ,

I'm working in Photoshop 2021 Elements and have a problem since updating.  The text box is not working.  When I insert the text box over any photo, the cursor is not in the box but in the corner box (or center or right if I change location) that's the box outline.  You can type, but it doesn't show because it's too small.  For the life of me I cannot understand why the cursor isn't coming up in the text box like it used to before updating.  Is it a BUG?  I've reset the multiple times, gone in and out, tried it on other photos, to no avail. Any idea/

Did you purchase Elements from the Microsoft Store?

No.  I've had it on my computer since I purchased it years ago, and downloaded and paid from the 2021 version updating from the 2020 version.  Interestingly, both versions are doing the same thing.

@Eva Auch can you be more specific.  Whether a particular font size is going to appear depends in part on the resolution of your image.

Computer screen specs and screenshots when this happens sure would help.
