text box disappears

I have a map pdf that I printed from Google Earth. I want to use text boxes to put labels on it. I can place the text boxes and get the font and colors all set up OK, but then when I click the cursor in a new place to start a new text box, the first one vanishes and won't come back unless I mouse over it. I've wasted hours trying to solve this one! I'm using Acrobat Pro X and Windows 7. It also happens with Acrobat Pro 9 and XP.

Can you see the text box listed in the Comments List? If so, perhaps your text box properties don't have any opacity. To check, select the text box, right-click and select properties.Check the border color, fill color, and Opacity. Once you have the style set that you want, check the box at the bottom that says "Make Properties Default".
