Text Tool -Problems Editing

Jacek

Does anyone have a problem with the Text Tool in AC 8.1?
I have opened a drawing (open archived) from 7.3
Tried to edit a text box; selected it and when I klick inside the box to insert the cursor the box disappears!
It is Gone! Blank! Kaput!
I have to klick somewhere else for it to come back.
The only way to edit the text, is to do it blindly, typing 'in the blank' and then klicking outside the box to see if it is there and in the right place. -Not a very good way to place notes....

I am also unable to start a new note and see the type, same thing happens.
Has anyone gone thru this?

Heeelp!

- Back to the drafting board...

Thank you all for chiming in.
I have left it off and the problems seemed to have gone away -for now, I'm sure....
On the other hand, does anyone know what is the purpose/intent of the 2D acceleration selection if almost none are using it or see improvement in speed -except Ben perhaps.

Is it a good intent, not quite delivering?
