Artistic text

When I want to type artistic text the first time on a new project, the windows pop up and ask me if I want to change the default to the new font and point size. I type some text and then I want to change font and point size. I select a new font but the default window does not appear nor does it appear when I change the point size. When I start typing, it reverts back to the first font and point size.  Whats up? X5 never did that, only happened since I upgraded to X7.

Any help would be appreciated.
