I cannot edit my text because the text editing panel does not appear (desktop app))

Your text has a style applied, so:

i have the same problem. @tank666 this doesn’t solve the problem though. The problem is that the window doesn’t open at all, the panel on the right doesn’t appear, there’s nothing that i could possibly click. it’s really frustrating

FigJam never had a right panel. Just create a new or open an existing Figma design file, instead of the FigJam whiteboard file.
