I'm having trouble inserting text.  I'm not in Draft Mode

I do not see a general help topic that goes to through the steps.

When I choose the Text or MText tool, I get a dialog box to set the text and properties.  When I OK that, I end up with a box in a random location and no visible text.  That seems weird, like there is some magic about how to place a text box.  I would not expect the box on the canvas until I click somewhere.

I'm not in Draft Mode.  I'm using a white background.  Maybe the text is white on white, but the color attribute only seems to affect the box outline color.

I like this app, but it uses conventions that are difficult to guess.

Thanks in advance.
