    Hello my friends. I am having a situation when trying to add text to a drawing. When I start to write, no text appears. Instead, the drawing is automatically zoomed out and text does not work at all. What is happening and how can I solve it? Thanks a lot

    You may be on a locked layer. If so, and you are starting the text with a number 1-6, Inkscape will interpret the number as a zoom command.

    Thanks. Can you tell me please what to do? And how to prevent it from happening again?

    I'd open the layers Dialog, select the layer to use and unlock.
