on version 4.8.03 I've got an issue (see pic - applying the text just resulted in the line) wherein text won't appear. If it applies at all, it applies as if it were just a click and drag with a sculpt tool. I 'solved' it once by deleting my 3d coat user files, but it's just recurred a few days later. I wonder if anyone else encountered/fixed this? I saw mention of something similar in the forum but that said it was fixed early in v4 life cycle.
