Can't change color of text or background of text in open captions? (Premiere Pro 14.9 and earlier)

I am trying to increase the opacity of the background on my subtitles in open caption. Although I click on opaque (there is no longer a dropper icon, just the word opaque among the choices of colors in the dropdown menu), the background remains black. I have tried various combinations of changing the background and text colors and nothing actually changes in the program monitor. Still black background, white text. I am also not seeing an option to change the font family? I am using the latest version of Premiere Pro CC 2018. Has anyone else had this issue?

Thanks.

Correct answer Meg The Dog

I believe that functionality is only available if you are working with Open Captions, and not with Open Subtitles:

but am not 100% sure about that.

saraem, thank you for asking this and thanks to Meg The Dog for the answer. I've only been struggling for.... oh... about three, four hours and finally thought to google it. Hugs from Cape Town.

I can't replicate your issue, you are making your changes here, with these controls?
