Indeed,
@Stephen you need to start to type something, in your tool options your text box is set to "Dynamic", thus you won't see anything as the size will be "Dynamic" and take the least place possible, once you type something the textbox will be the size of the letter or number you've typed.
In the end ➤ select the text tool>> Then Click on your image, then ➤Just type something right away. You will see/understand once the first letter/number you've typed
