  2. Select the rich text component and edit the text

  3. The editor does not display any text:

Cause

Rich text components are localizable i.e. we can define multiple locales / languages

The text values will follow this priority while displaying:

  1. Display the localized text entered for the logged in user's current locale
  2. If there is no text entered for the current locale, but there is some text for another locale, the latter will be displayed

The text editor will ALWAYS default to the text content for the logged in user's current locale.
System working as designed

Resolution

The 'Rich Text' editor will display locale options, when the mouse is hovered to the bottom left corner of the screen.
In this screen, choose the desired locale and continue editing the text.
Alternatively, you could also click 'Show All Values' to briefly display the first few characters of the text in all entered locales
