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.

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?
