If I attempt to place text or edit text in the attached file, MicroStation crashes.
ExampleTextFields.dgn
This is a new DGN file, created from the delivered 2D metric seed. When I click the Place Text tool button, I see a ghosted Tool Settings box, then a crash dialog with Abort etc. buttons. Then MicroStation quits. I attempted to create a crash log, but since MicroStation quits on that as well I don't know if there's any evidence!
Is there anything wrong with that file?

I removed and re-installed MicroStation CONNECT Update 11 (approx. 2 hours of my time). The text editor is working once more!

[Cr11] I'll have to try that. Microstation crashed 3 times yesterday while using the text dialogue box. We do have some outstanding defects with the text dialogue.
I can only hope Bentley still has a few people working on this buggy, un-finished software. I sure have spent a lot of my time filing service tickets, recording videos, documenting bugs. And still more tickets to file, software is no where near finished.

I personally do not understand why Bentley use this component (I guess it!s DHMTL control) in MicroStation. From a very first moment it has been released with MicroStation long time ago, plenty of users reported both small and critical, but always annoying problems and bugs. I guess when time everybody spent reporting them to Bentley Support and the bugs were discussed in forums is longer than time required to create own editor from scratch :-(
