Subtitles do not work

[Jana_BW]

Hi there, 
I'm quite a newbie to working with Premiere Pro and I'm pretty much stuck at the moment. I've already made a few videos with subtitles and until today it worked wonderfully. As of today, I somehow can't manage to add a new subtitle. The + icon is missing and when I click on Add Segment in the dropdown menu, nothing happens. 

Can someone help me and tell me what I have to do - or what I'm doing wrong? 

Greetings from Vienna,

Jana

The Text Panel is narrow, so the Plus symbol does not show. As you have found, the "Add new captions segment" in the 3 dots dropdown does not work.

Workarounds include expanding the Text Panel to use the plus symbol and using the shortcut Ctrl-Alt-C.
