When using Typewriter tool, text disappears when I click out of box...

Question

Hi!
I'm sure I've seen this question addressed here before but I cannot make the "Search" work.  Every time I search I get "no results" even when I search for something as obvious as PDF.
So please forgive me posting a question that I'm pretty sure has been answered in the past...
When I use the Typewriter tool to type some text, and then I click out of the text box that the Typewriter tool created, the text that I typed disappears.  If I double-click on the typewriter text box then the text reappears.  Then if I click out, the text disappears.  And so on...
How do I make that text stay "viewable" even when I click out of the typewriter text box?
Thank you so much!!
Diane

Hi Larry!!
Here is an image where the box with the Typewriter text (the word "test) is "activated", with the comments list showing down below but without the "test" comment in the comment list being highlighted.  At the green "plus sign arrow" in the upper-right corner is the word "test".
Now below is an image where the box with the Typewriter text (the word "test") is not "activated" (but you can see the blue box where the word "test" should be showing), with the comments list showing down below, with the "test" comment highlighted, and the "Comments" dropdown menu so that you can see what's black in the dropdown menu.
When I clicked on the "test" comment in the comment list, the word "test" went away in the upper-right corner and the blue box showed up instead.
Am I showing what you need to see or should I show something different?
Thank again so much!!
