After you type some text into any TextLine box in the Appearance Setup Window, eg, HintString, HelpString, or TextString, you need to press your keyboard Enter key for the data to be entered correctly. If you click on the Enter PushButton first, before hitting the Enter key, then your text string will be lost. Sorry, but it’s just the way it works…
