Excalidraw: Firefox cannot add text

Created on 5 Jan 2020  路  3Comments  路  Source: excalidraw/excalidraw

Firefox 71.0 on linux won't add the text: after the prompt, I can see a flicker of the "shape options" appear and disappear in the sidebar, and nothing in the drawing area.

It works fine with chromium.

Can you provide a video?

I can repro on Win, so this seems platform independent. The element is still created, but for some reason is invisible or doesn't have dimensions.
