Where did the text dialog box go?

I'm trying to edit text that I've already typed in. When I select the text, the dialog box disappears. How do I make it come back? I'm trying to use it to change the size by clicking the up-down arrows to do it one pixel (or inch, or milimeter) at a time?

I'm trying to change the font of text that's all the way at the top of the image. The text box goes under the rulers and I can't move it. How do I make it come back? How do I reposition that box?

I'm just trying to make a one-page 8.5x11" flyer for a college class on visual communication (aka designing things like a flyer). Using this software is like playing whack-a-mole.

...but also look at the Gimp documentation: https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-image-text-management.html
