The next step for me would be to reset preferences and reset the workspace you are in.

Ess Graphics does not need source patching or track targeting.

It will always choose the top empty track.

But it does need sequence settings.

You can see the text box dragged out below the clock, but it doesn't actually create the text field for me.

Nothing. No text appears and the outline of the textbox just disappears.

Try just clicking on the screen with the Text tool selected and then type. 

But if you need to drag a box, then make sure it is tall enough to take your selected font.
