Text Tool does not function properly

Ask the community

When I select “text tool” and then click in the canvas I get a tiny blinking dot. No cursor. If I type it does not show up except in the layers panel. I have tried all of the suggestions I can find. Help please.

Increase the font size.

Thank you for your suggestion.
However that solution does not solve the issue.

Could you show the properties panel when the text layer is selected and when the frame is selected?
