Text not showing on type path

[hawky]

I'm having a bit of a strange problem with the text tool on CS4 at the moment.

When I have drawn a work-path with the pen tool and then attempt to type along it the text does now show up and I cannot edit it.
The cursor changes when I hover over the start of the path to indicate that the type path is available but once I click and start typing nothing seems to happen. The name of the text layer changes to what I've just typed however so it is definitely inputting it somewhere.

Any ideas guys? Thanks in advance.

I know what's wrong! The same was happening to me. You probably had your text set to center or right-aligned. It should show up if you set it to left-aligned. Hope this helped.

Check the type color setting... white against white wouldn't be visible for instance.
