When I select the 'add text' tool, after I finish typing the text and click outside the text box, the text disappears. I can't send an .mp4 file to explain more clearly about the issue I'm having because it's not supported here.

Hi,
Okay some more things:
Add a space after adding the text and verify if the text disappears too.
Please copy and paste this in the address bar > Change it to default.
edge://flags/#edge-pdf-webui-update
I look forward to hearing from you to get the results of the troubleshooting.
After adding a space after adding the text, the text still disappears.
As for this link edge://flags/#edge-pdf-webui-update, it always stays in the "default" state. I even tried changing it to "enabled" and "disabled", but it still doesn't work.
Next solution:
Restart and verify.
I look forward to hearing from you to get the results of the troubleshooting.
I tried it on both the Edge and Edge Dev versions, but it didn't work.
Thank you for doing the troubleshooting.
Are you pasting the text or typing? If so, may I know whether you have an English keyboard layout or not?
Whether I paste the text or type it, it all gets the same error, buddy.
Ah, my bad, now I see what is going on. Earlier, you could download the Edge Beta/Dev version from https://aka.ms/EdgeDev, but the URL has expired. Let me give a direct download:
Can you download the same from:
and install?
I installed the Edge Dev version and tried opening a PDF file to edit it, but the result still has the same error, my friend.
I'm not sure if the problem is caused by the Edge software itself, but I've been dealing with this issue for over a month. I've updated Edge to the latest versions multiple times, yet the problem persists.
I also searched on YouTube and TikTok to see what this error is and how to fix it, but I couldn't find any videos related to my issue—it feels like I'm the only one experiencing this.
I use the "add text" feature, and after typing, when I click outside the text box, that text should be added to the PDF file, right? But no, it just disappears.
Here, I can't send a .mp4 file to clearly explain the problem I'm having; I don't even know if you really understand what I'm going through.
Before, no one ever had this problem, and you guys have never solved a problem like this, have you?
Hi there,
I just wanted to follow up and check whether the steps I provided helped resolve the issue.
If it works in Edge Dev, you may have to wait a few weeks before the Production release is updated.
If the issue is still not resolved, please let me know. I’ll be happy to continue assisting you.
