this did allow me to find out what's going on.
It's because you are trying to write a text outside of the image / canvas,
You can increase the canvas size by going to the menu Image ➤ Canvas size or write inside the canvas/image, then move your text and eventually go to Image ➤ Fit Canvas to Layers to see your text.
