Imovie: Title text not appearing to edit when doubled clicked

IMovie (early 2018 version)


I am trying to edit Title text in iMovie. When double-clicked the text editor does appear to edit the text. The top bar with the text, font and text editor does show. Yet the text itself does not appear to be edited. It just sits as a black window. This makes it impossible to edit all the titles.


I tried this with three different projects and all appeared to have the same issue.

My software is up to date.

iMac, iOS 11.2.6

The procedure is to put the title above the main timeline, select and click on it, and then edit it in the preview window. If that is not working try opening iMovie while holding down the Option and Command keys, and selecting to delete preferences in the box that appears.
